I would have thought the most important hi-jacking training was psychological
rather than practical, i.e. controlling hostages, mental attitude to complete
the task, etc..

The USA do not have a very good track record in nurturing democracy in other
countries (when they have acted unilaterally rather than part of an
international coalition), they usually replace one dictator they don't like
with one they do. Unfortunately this record makes the current
administration's concern for the democratic rights of the "poor" Iraqi's
difficult to believe.
