Murdered journalist Steven Sotloff was kidnapped and sold to the radical Islamic State terrorist group, or ISIS, by one of the "moderate" rebel groups to whom the US government has considered offering support, according to his family's spokesman.
Barak Barfi told CNN that Sotloff - who was Jewish and a joint US-Israeli citizen - was sold for a sum of money in the tens of thousands of dollars at the Syrian border. He said credible "sources on the ground" had provided the dramatic and tragic details of the abduction.
"For the first time, we can say Steven was sold at the border," Barfi said.
He described for the first time how Sotloff was set up to be kidnapped, as "activists" spread false rumors that he had participated in the bombing of a hospital - rumors which set him up to be kidnapped by a rebel group, and ultimately executed by IS.
"Steven's name was on a list that he had been responsible for the bombing of a hospital. This was false, activists spread his name around.
"Somebody at the border crossing made a phone call to ISIS and they set up a fake checkpoint with many people and Steven and his people that he went in with could not escape," he said.
Barfi noted that the people who actually carried out the kidnapping of Sotloff, a US citizen, were members of some of the very Syrian rebel factions the Obama administration has considered supporting to overthrow the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
“We believe that these so-called moderate rebels that people want our administration to support, one of them sold him probably for something between $25,000 and $50,000 to ISIS and that was the reason he was captured,” Barfi said.

ISIS did not capture all their US weapons from the Iraqi army. Some were supplied by the Obama State Dept., who had no idea who they were backing at the time. That “Don’t do stupid s…” is a failed policy when those in charge are stupid.
Let’s get this straight…the “moderates” /sarcasm of the “religion of peace” /sarcasm sold their infidel slave to those who “hijacked” /sarcasm the “religion of peace” /sarcasm so that they could behead the jew.

The government is all about doing stupid s***. Take away that role and there wouldn’t be much left for it to do...
Excellent.
Our default should always fall on the side of who the Christians back. They may not always be “good” guys but the local Christians know they aren’t the really bad guys.
0bama FUNDED the beheading.
Indeed. He is working the mainstream media for the final kool aid drink of submission.
John McCain inspired.

I’m not at all sure they didn’t know. What is certain is they knew they were giving arms, munitions, fighting vehicles, etc., to Islamists and I think nothing else mattered. A rational mind knows that you can never turn your back on a Muslim. Their actions look stupid to true American patriots but not to traitors who are celebratinge the caliphate’s rebirth.
After Syria, they are going after Lebanon and our ostensible ally Jordan. That's a very big swath of the Middle East controlled by jihadis psychos. Guess we'll have to have World War 3 against them.
Same thing here.
