ISLAMABAD — A 72-year-old American development worker who was kidnapped in Pakistan by al-Qaeda more than two years ago appealed to President Obama in a video released Thursday to negotiate his release, saying he feels “totally abandoned and forgotten.”
The video of Warren Weinstein was the first since two videos released in September 2012. Weinstein, the country director in Pakistan for J.E. Austin Associates, a U.S.-based firm that advises a range of Pakistani business and government sectors, was abducted from his house in the eastern city of Lahore in August 2011.
**SNIP**
“Nine years ago I came to Pakistan to help my government, and I did so at a time when most Americans would not come here, and now when I need my government it seems that I have been totally abandoned and forgotten,” Weinstein said during the 13-minute video. “And so I again appeal to you to instruct your appropriate officials to negotiate my release.”

Obama negotiate his release - like he negotiated with terrorists to halt the attack on the Benghazi consulate???
Warren is my Friend, a great Professor, Mentor and is a wonderful man. I pray for him daily. I am disgusted with the State Dept, with the President and the rest of the louts in Washington for not getting Warren freed. It is disgusting.
Maybe we can swap Harvey for Warren. That would be a win for everyone.
I would like to see Warren freed
however, then I would like to see westerners especially Jews and Christians (other than those committed to martydom) to stop putting or leaving themselves in obviously lawless unstable muslim countries and calling the US marines for help when the almost inevitable happens
I’m sorry for your friend and fellow US Citizen - but as the fraudulent POTUS remains in power - I doubt your friend will have any relief anytime soon...and that’s a crime against the Republic and Barry should be held accountable!
Fox reported this morning that they demand all al qaeda and taliban prisoners to be released by the USA for his release.
Find out where he is and send Delta Force to negotiate his release.
A possible trade for major Hasan? Ughhh, bad trade.
Weinstein reportedly killed in January hostage rescue attempt
