Post-Med, what a govt says in public and what it does behind the scenes are often different (I think there have been cases of it during the current war) and 'one within a grey range to move have' does sound like an indication of flexibility. The German govt is more likely to pay ransom demands if international pressure is evident.
But I agree its not the best solution in the long term - I suppose bringing the imperialist project to an end is the only real solution.
If the reasons for her kidnap are what is suggested by I Love Rocks, then that is a shame. But I can understand how any co-operation with the new Iraqi regime is seen by many of the people in Iraq as legitimising a puppet government. You don't have to support their actions to understand their motives...
