This whole Red Cross thing is really stupid, because of what the Red Cross is. It's basically an apolitical international humanitarian institution that's neutral in all conflicts. All they do is provide medical aid or post-conflict reconstruction.
Kidnapping or killing its members just ensures no help at all from the Red Cross, and gives the military free reign to commit human rights abuses unabated on the insurgents. They might be doing that already, but now they don't need to worry about being caught Red Cross members. I'm not too sure about what's happening in the south, but this is not going to help their cause at all.
