I'v always thought of paying ransom as a "damned if you, damned if you dont" situation.

I wouldn't pay, but I'm not gonna judge the people that do too harshly if thier motive is saving lives. Good intentions pave a highway to hell though. I agree- Ultimately they do make kidnapping profitable by paying off.
