| Hezbollah forces two armed soldiers to surrender after a skirmish: this is `kidnapping.` Israel finally releases what evidently were civilians after all: they were `captured.` I`m just trying to keep the terms straight. It`s getting to be quite a specialized vocabulary: `terrorist,` `defence,` `democratic,` `cease-fire,` and `anti-semitic` all already had novel definitions: now we can add `kidnapped` and `captured.` |
