They need to train all American Civilians in Iraq on how to escape a kidnapping. Once the terrorist kidnap them, there is little chance they will escape. Their best chance is at the moment of the kidnapping. Unfortunately, such a thing will be to shocking and confusing for most people to react.

They need to train them with countless simulations of them being kidnapped, then they will instinctively react. Arming them would be a good idea.
