re: #140 Killgore Trout

It’s possible. Anyone who’s taken a hostage safety course will tell you these are the things you’re supposed to do as a hostage. Befriend your captors and win their trust. The more they like you, the less likely they are to kill you. The more they trust you, the more likely you’ll have chances to escape.

Is this like how you were convinced yesterday that villagers saying he was asking about the Taliban meant there could be truth to the allegations that he’d signaled an intent to defect to them?
