In response to "The nuances between "leverage" and "ransom" are easily obscured, I'm afraid. -- nm*" by znufrii, dad.

When the payment obligation was negotiated prior to the hostage release it's not as difficult to argue (which it was and which was publicly

acknowledged prior to the hostage release). Frankly, we were holding their cash until they released the hostages. So who was really paying ransom?
