Permission to Go Postal

Four "peace activists" have been kidnapped in Iraq by the militantly peaceful.

Their organisation has a policy of not advocating the use of violence to save any of their members (though they don't say if they'd turn themselves back over to kidnappers if special forces do save them contrary to their organization's policy).

Instapundit does "strongly support" violence in case he is kidnapped. But his advice is needlessly wordy.

I prefer timeless advice in the unlikely event I am kidnapped: "Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead." Replace names as needed, of course.

Then again, I'm no peace activist so I probably have no moral authority.
