I've Been Thinking:
Jordan responded to ISIS.
ISIS has said that they will execute the downed Jordanian pilot they captured and are holding unless Jordan releases a female terrorist.
Jordan has decided to up the ante. They have countered and are now threatening ISIS. They want proof that their pilot is alive and they have clearly told this to ISIS. If you kill our pilot, the Jordanians said, we will execute all ISIS prisoners in Jordan.
This is not an idle threat. Jordan can and will do exactly what they have threatened to do. Jordan is betting that ISIS will understand and respond to the threat of force.
That remains to be seen. How will ISIS respond?
