There'll Be Heck To Pay. HECK, I Tell Ya!!

The International Committee of the Red Cross is "concerned" about the rescuers of the hostages held by the FARC in Colombia displaying the Red Cross symbol. According to the Red Cross, the use of its symbol is regulated by "international humanitarian law," whatever that is, and its misuse is prohibited.

This raises a few questions:

If the rescuers had actually been FARC operatives simply transferring the captives to another prison camp, would the Red Cross still object to the use of their symbol?

Is the Red Cross more interested in the technicalities of the use of their symbol, or the rescue of hostages from terrorists?

What punishment should the rescuers be made to suffer?

Also, it just seems a little strange that none of the terrorists on the ground who handed over the hostages to the rescue team seemed too concerned that "Red Cross personnel" were involved in what they thought was just another one of their prisoner transfers. Does this mean that the Red Cross is routinely involved in FARC activities?
