Heard on the Today Show 8/2/89
Bryant Gumbal interviewing a middle east expert

Bryant: Sir, What is that the Soviets did, that was so
effective at getting their kidnapped diplomats back 
that we could not or were not willing to do ??

Expert: Well, they called in the KGB who promptly kidnapped 
some relatives of the people who were presumed responsible,
castrated them and sent them back with the message that this
would happen to the the kidnapers themselves if the hostages
were not released.  You can imagine what NBC would have said
if the US had done this.

Bryant: Yes and we would not have had film at 11 !!
