5. I don't. I think that's extremely foolish.
You don't put a high-value hostage in one of the most hostile environments in the world. Would YOU want to have to negotiate the release of the daughters of the President of the United States? Think, for just a moment, about how horrible that would turn out. We'd have to cave on pretty much every one of their demands.

And you don't endanger more troops just to make a petty political point. Much as I would love to see ANY Bush actually deal with the consequences of this clusterfuck, it's a horrible, horrible idea.
