So this guy who was captured and held prisoner for a month or whatever... The first thing I thought of when I saw him was this: He's not afraid of dying. Watch all the video clips (there's a dateline special about it coming up). And you'll see, not once was he afraid, not once did he not believe he was coming home. When he's sitting in the car with his captors, on TV, a position most likely to terrify your average person, he calmly says to the camera "They attacked our convoy." and "I can't say anything else".
Motive? Publicity... political gain... I have no idea. The only thing I know is that guy was as 'calm as a Hindu cow'.
