The chances of her ever being released were slim. As I have said before......... Get out of those countries or consider that you have a big target on your back. Also the USA won't be sending huge amounts of money or exchange terrorist in jail to get you released. She was a good kid in the wrong place.

They follow a particular vocation and they are to be commended for it, but if getting taken hostage or killed is not factored into their area off care giving then the assigner is partly to blame.

I'm going to have to strongly disagree with you here. If only every religious person were as compassionate and loving as she was. She was not in Syria to spread the word, but to help the people of Syria who are suffering terribly. She wasn't there to hand out Bibles, but to give a hand to a terrorized population suffering through this senseless civil war.It is acceptable to be an atheist and still respect a religious person who wants to help the weakest among us. My main problem with modern religion is the hatred and vitriol they spread while completely ignoring the words of their supposed savior who instructed them to care for the poor, feed the hungry, and love everyone. My main problem with modern religion is their hatred of people who don't look like them, talk like them, act like them, or have the audacity to believe in another God that wasn't invented a couple thousand years ago.I may not be religious, but I definitely respect Kayla. She gave her life up to go help the people whose lives were upended in Syria. If only every Christian actually were as compassionate as she was. I might actually have more respect for the religion if they were.

I have to agree with you 100% Dutch. Most people don't want to hear the truth unfortunately. I'm sure she was a wonderful, loving, caring person and she certainly did not deserve to die but... What can one expect? A young wide eyed unsophisticated woman travels to all the most dangerous places in the world trying to save humanity! Anyone who would even consider doing and going where she did is, in reality, pretty delusional about life and their roll in it.I'm sorry, I know this will upset a lot of people but "facts is facts" as they say. And to quote a famous philosopher "you reap what you sow"
