Red Cross workers kidnapped in Afghanistan
Four employees of the International Committee of the Red Cross, who had traveled outside of the capital to help negotiate the release of hostages held by the Taliban, were themselves kidnapped, the authorities said Thursday.
What's with this "kidnapped" crap? Why is it whenever the "bad guys" capture someone, they call them "kidnapped"? On the other hand, our troops "capture" the bad guys. Makes the bad guys sound like child molesters.
And once they are captured, instead of calling them "prisoners" or "POWs", they are "hostages".
