i would only add that there are numerous examples of land-based peoples
holding hostages and fed/clothed/looked after them as well. i believe it was
benjamin franklin who remarked how when euro-americans and natives met to
exchange prisoners the native captives went running back to their tribe while
the whites were reluctant and took the time to say good bye to their enemy
Not surprising when the point to much land-based hostage taking is to let them get to know you or study them. You are not their property or possession, you are their student and their teacher. It is well to say thank you for the lesson.
