NEGOTIATING WITH TERRORISTS

[Duchess]

I don't think we should be paying ransom for people who are taken. I was curious how other Americans felt about it. Apparently Jim Foly's brother was interviewed and while he prefaced that he really shouldn't be getting into this he proceeded to say he thought our government could have done more to get his brother back.

I'm horrified they cut that poor man's head off. It made me sad & mad and to further read he had been tortured for months after the terrorists found pix of his brother who serves with the Air Force was awful. At one point they crucified him BUT Jim Foley knew the risks, he had already been taken once before.

I think ISIS knew they were going to kill him. They asked for something like $132 million. They aren't stupid, they knew they would never see that kind of money.
