retired australian soldier held captive , page-13

I don't think the Australian government should pay a ransom because once you do that it makes every Ozzie travellor fair game.

In any case, I think Rodwell is resigned to die.
In his first "proof of life" video he seemed to be begging people to pay the ransom
Now a year down the track in his second "proof of life" video he seems to be saying he trusts noone and he said something like he "doesn't care"
I take that to mean he's ready to go.
