Holding Rescue
Yeah - I have no issue whatsoever with the cost of his rescue - that's why we have technology, and what price can you put on human life anyway?
But I do have an issue with being treated like a school kid by the official channels. If it was a spy plane, the authorities should tell us. We're grown-ups. We can handle it.
And if resources were deployed that normally would not be, again, tell us. Say it was justified because of his importance to the government. We might not agree, but so be it. But don't pretend it didn't happen, or that it was a private aircraft. Just tell the truth.
