Abducted BBC man says "Don't rescue me"

I stumbled across this on CNN.com today...

"Clad in what appeared to be an explosive vest, kidnapped BBC Gaza correspondent Alan Johnston warned in a new video that his captors would turn their hideout into a "death zone" if any rescue attempt is made."

Is this world going down the tubes? We seem to have some of these extremists threatening us like this every day. I say we ignore their threats and go ahead with our plans. We know from past situations, like this, that we can't just "not attempt" to save this guy. Go in there and save him!
