Finding the kidnapped soldiers

If any of the kidnappers are captured alive they should be tried, and if found guilty, executed. The penalty for kidnapping a soldier has to be so severe that others are deterred from trying it as well. Just as in the US we have more severe penalties for attacking policemen, so it should be when our soldiers are essentially trying to perform the same function in Iraq. I realize that these terrorists have no regard for law, life, or freedom; however, I think a public showing of our determiniation to enforce a real peace would be useful.
