“One thing I’ve learned is that these countries don’t give up American prisoners for free. There’s always a cost,” Richardson said. “I don’t want to get into details and we’re not at that stage yet. But we have an obligation as a country, and I’m not speaking as a government official, to try to secure the release of the Green Berets. They’re American military people. They’re American citizens. They have rights and we should try to get them out.” -—— https://spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/san-antonio/news/2020/10/26/texas-family-pushing-to-get-son-freed-from-venezuelan-prison

Yes there is always a cost, like with the Iran deal...
