Well, You Can't Argue They Don't Have a Delicious Sense of the Ironic

Here's a kidnapping expert you probably don't want to take any advice from:

A well-known U.S. anti-kidnapping expert has himself fallen victim to the wave of abductions in Mexico as unidentified assailants snatched him from a street in the northern state of Coahuila.

Local authorities say American Felix Batista was in Mexico to give talks and offer advice against kidnapping. The former U.S. army officer sometimes serves as a negotiator with kidnappers.

I think I'd suggest finding the area hostage negotiator before he becomes a hostage himself. Because then he'd be negotiating his own hostage while the kidnapping expert would be ... oh shit ... My poor attempt at meta just shorted out my brain.

I do hope they find this guy's kidnappers soon.
