Paying ransom to terrorists is subject to prosecution (2014)
Posted: Aug 4, 2016
journalist James Foley, who was beheaded by ISIS on August 19, told ABC News that government officials threatened the Foleys to stop them from paying a ransom to free their son. The threats reportedly came from a prominent military officer on the White House’s National Security Council, who warned them that paying a ransom to ISIS would support terrorism. “Three times he intimidated us with that message. We were horrified he would say that. He just told us we would be prosecuted. We knew we had to save our son,” she said. James Foley’s brother, Michael, told ABC News that a high-ranking State Department official threatened him with prosecution for breaching anti-terrorism laws if he paid ISIS. The threats prompted the Foleys to stop seeking donations to pay for James’s ransom through crowdsourcing, Michael said. ;

[ In Reply To ..]example of an American attempt a regime change gone bad. The Shah regime, that the US put in place, ordered and paid for American weapons. Before the weapons could be delivered, the Shah was deposed, American hostages taken, and the U.S. held onto that money until now. As certain requirements of the Iran deal are met, more money that was frozen, will be returned.
That was during Carter, another Democrat. Among the - hostage takers was Mahmoud
[ In Reply To ..]Ahmadinejad. Because of Carter, that's when our bad relationship with Iran began.
There is only one lessoned to be learned by Carter’s undermining of the Shah. Islam is incompatible with democracy or a republican form over government, so support the friendly Islamic leaders when you can.
After that he banned Iranians immigrants and deported students. He didn’t just ban Iranians, he banded Shiites specifically. Yet I do not recall a huge outcry over it.
So at least he didn't hate the United States like the current occupant.
