Clear Grit: Would you refuse to testify against your kidnappers?

I'm really not sure what to make of this. Personally, I'd want to see them pay. Does that make me a bad person?

I heard them interviewed tonight and "get" their concern.

I have no religious affiliation, but understand the concept of carrying hate and how that becomes your burden, not theirs.

An eye for an eye????

Life, to me, is not about exacting all that we have read literally. It is more about learning through it.

Does your view make you a bad person?

IMHO, no.
