Can Hussein be charged for trading terrorists for a deserter - while on the golf course?

[skeeter]

Does anyone doubt for a second that this article would include a reference to the illegal Bergdahl prisoner swap to contrast to the administration’s policy statement were this president not a democrat.

[cripplecreek]

Breaking news via twitter is that there is a new beheading video. This time a British journalist.

[LegendHasIt]

Hypocrites.
I happen to know that the 0bama administration and some of their domestic allies (NYT, for example) Have paid huge ransoms to the muzzies for friends and employees of theirs.

[Stepan12]

It is a good policy not to pay ransom. The ransom monies are used to finance more terrorist activity. And it appears with Bergdahl that Obama wanted to strike a blow against gitmo captivity, plus give another middle finger to our U.S. troops than concern for anyone’s welfare.

Everyone else in the world pays ransom, where do people think that they got the nifty video equipment and sharp knives from?

Qutar, ISIS on line one, they're looking for another couple million not to kill someone else...

[Gay State Conservative]

If they were willing able to do so they should have done so...or attempted to do so.And then they could have dared our Attorney Corporal to prosecute.

family: our son has been kidnapped and they want a ransom
0failure: don’t pay it
family: they say they’ll behead him if we don’t.
0failure: if you do, we’ll put you all in jail.
family: does that mean you’ll rescue our boy?
0failure: oh no. we won’t do anything.
family: what?! nothing?! why not?
0failure: well, i can’t have it interfere with my golf game

[Sherman Logan]

The United States has a policy of never paying ransoms, contending that doing so would endanger Americans all over the world.

Does anybody contend this is NOT true?

[Sherman Logan]

I’ve seen a number of articles making this claim, but have yet to see a report on what any legal charges would have been. IOW, what law could they be charged with breaking?

Does anybody know?

[Diogenesis]

”No ransom! Except when Moslems or to our children, the "rebels"."

[E. Pluribus Unum]

But Ubama can trade terrorist leaders for US deserters, no problemo.

[Logical me]

Washington has since declared it is at war with the radicals

Oh for damn sake, just shut your Fnd mouth Washington. America is ruled by weak coward arses and we already lost the war with ISIS. King Obama and his communists democrats are cowards and fools. The entire democratic party is corrupt crap. And when you add half of the Republicans, what a mess.

[Little Ray]

I have to agree with this. Better the news journalists be executed than ISIS get millions more in funding.

[a fool in paradise]

Call it jizya tax and the Obama administration will be A-OK with it. #OBAMADOCTRINE
