Apparently some US laws are ridiculous, so you may want to get in touch with your Washington, DC representative. Hopefully there aren't many more of those laws.

That wasn;t the scenarion of 9/11, was it?
I did mention that decisions of that sort are tough, but they have to be made sometimes - not within the scenario you proposed. Ethic, morality and such are not black and white at all.
When you really think about it, anti errorist/hostage crisis forces are trained to
minimize the loss of life. Sometimes there is no loss of life, but it is understood that in tough situation some of the hostages/victims may be killed.

Again, that would be pretty much an anti war statement in general.
