...policy is a risky one. U.S. Police Adviser Daniel Mitrione was murdered last August by his captors, the Tupamaro guerrillas. British Ambassador Geoffrey Jackson has been held by kidnapers for more than two months, and last week the guerrillas seized Attorney General Guido Berro Oribe for "questioning."
