Now one of our favorite free-marketers is admiring the communists (big government!). I would imagine similar tactics might be used by the fascists (also, lots o' government) and, indeed, Saddam's regime.

Perhaps on the theory that if the Soviet has let himself be kidnapped, he must be a traitor. Which is in turn akin to how you can't be raped and live, because if you don't fight to the death, you actually wanted to have sex.
