There is a pattern emerging here. Missionaries, peace activists, and journalists who were all sympathetic towards their captors, have put themselves in vulnerable situations because they underestimated and misunderstood the motives behind these extremist groups. These aren't random American's, and it's misleading to blame their naivety on America. If we have to put blame, we need to put blame on the organization that sent him over, and put him in the hands of terrorists for the sake of aiding the insurgency.
