One of them is a woman (and a mother- which is how I found it for my motherhood blog), and she has been treated differently by her captors, being made to write a confession and wear a headscarf on television. The media has given a lot more coverage to her than to the other 14 captured soldiers and thus it might yield some interesting stuff about gender and war. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=444500&in_page_id=1811 Sorry this isnt overly relevent to this post, but you might be interested in this situation with the 15 British soldiers captured in Iran.
