As for why we don't just send in a Spec Ops team to rescue the hostage, I've always wondered that myself. However, the filthy bleeding-heart liberal in me would rather see diplomacy and negotiation than force and more bloodshed.

I think (I'm not too sure) the British government sent the SAS in for one of the hostage groups about a year ago. They got in there, stormed the location, killed every single one of the hostage takers and left with the hostages safe and intact. All within the space of under 5 minutes.
Although, I don't think it would be practical to get the SAS or any other special forces regiment out whenever someone takes a hostage.
Actually... I don't know why they don't do just that.
