Assumption is the Mother Of All F*ckups.
Apparently the older Pommy bloke had earlier stated that if he was taken hostage he didn't want to be rescued in an armed intervention....why assume that he had changed his mind?
Why assume that the others wanted to be resued - they may have been getting on famously and the captors ready to convert to Christianism.

I, however, will state here and now that if I get taken by Islamic Fundamentalist terrorists I would quite like to be rescued please.
