An eye for an eye...

All the talk about release of Father Bossi have been quite interesting...Pres. Arroyo have put placed the credit fot Bossi's release in the name of the military and the police. However, one cannot ignore all the talks surrounding the "truth" behind the release of Fr. Bossi. Im referring to the talks circulating that the government resorted to "kidnap for kidnap" strategy wherein the government abducted relatives of the abductors to have "bargaining chips" against them. If indeed the gov't resorted to such action then it was successful as Father Bossi was released not long. However, does the govt have to resort to this kind of strategies to solve a crisis such as this. By doing so, the govt is in a way stooping down to the levels of these hardened criminals. i just think that the next time such incident occurs that the govt would have a better plan and not solve problems through manners that are against the law...
