File under: Abu Sayyaf

#1 I'm sure all the publicity Abu Sayyaf is getting is doing wonders for recruitment, and may be the primary reason for keeping ol' Eugenio. The Red ~~Thingy~~ Cross, of course, is wringing their hands, afraid the Philippines military will do their job and smash the terrorists, and Eugenio will get hurt in the process. Pacifism usually ends with someone's foot in your face. The Red ~~Thingy~~Cross needs to learn that.

#2 In times of war between more or less civilized countries (e.g., US and Germany in WWII), the International Red Cross is invaluable for providing information about POWs. The American Red Cross does a lot of good work during natural disasters.
However, in today's war between civilization and Islam, the International Red Cross is much less useful.
