I had companions most of the time. We taught each other everything we knew. It Wasny to easy  Anderson a former Marine believed there was no Chance to make an escape and never tried. He also believed that the Bush administration policy of not negotiating with his captors was Correct. He also Felt that hostages would have been killed if a military Rescue operation had been attempted.
