>> I assume you'd be morally comfortable in not doing anything untoward to the kidnapper to get him to reveal his hostage's location. You assume incorrectly and the situation you outline is good for a movie but of little use in practical life. Unlike a Hollywood movie, real life doesn't end within a neat scripts. So the decisions that you make will continue to ripple through. Furthermore, it is exceedingly rare to have purely black and white situations. How many similar situations have you faced in your life? And finally, you should know that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. And given that life goes on, perhaps you should turn more of your focus to prevention than to "cure".
