#1 The bit about the cell phone got me wondering: why not embed a small lo-jack transponder chip in everyone that gets assigned to Iraq or Afghanistan. This would make it easier to locate the captive as well as find the bad guys. Surely, with the advances in nanotechnology and bioscience this is achievable. It would also save the Italians, French, Germans, Spainards and Russians (easy marks who always pay up) lots of cash.
