Anonymous Coward User ID: 56438809 United States 08/26/2014 10:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 6.6 million? Quoting: Function F7 Creepy amount to request. Plus didn't ISIS demand ransom for Foley and after not getting it is when they killed him? Also wasn't it some absurd amount for Foley? I believe it was like $132 million wasn't it? Now only 6.6 million for a woman? It's also shitty how Assad promises war is we start air striking IS while they are in Syria. When they are kidnapping Americans in Syria. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 40132196 United States 08/26/2014 10:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 6.6 million is a standard amount for an American hostage. Hell, 2002 or so we were buying hostages for around a couple million. We know ISIS isn't afraid to execute her. Come on, we can raise an obscene amount of money on Kickstart to watch some guy eat something. Is it that hard to find some angel donor to bring this girl back to the States? We can worry about dealing with ISIS later. Publicly they'll say "Well, we don't negotiate with those guys" which is BS. I just don't want to see her end up on CNN. God only knows what those ISIS bastards would do to her. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 37316564 Canada 08/26/2014 11:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That is a sad truth.. If she is not good looking she won't raise 100K.. Now if she's hot.. well that's a different deal she could probably just offer a couple weeks with the King of Saud and he'll cut the cheque. The sadder truth is she went over there to *help* them. But seriously this crap is going to go on and on and on .. They'll find another American, and another American, and another American and of course cough up the money or we get another grisly video.. I think the solution is a massive aerial B-52 Cluster bombardment every single day until ISIS is only a record on an internet hard drive. Wipe a whole city out every day and counter them that if they release her we will not level two cities tomorrow, we'll give them a 48 hr reprieve. |

ISIS will probably just end up botching whatever deal gets made, and then all hell will break loose. Then it'll be on like Donkey Kong as we go straight back to Iraq. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 51021607 United States 08/26/2014 11:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I really believe that people that travel to these hostile places, knowingly putting themselves in danger should think long and hard and use some common sense instead of going after that great story, or video footage or 'helping' out. Let these people help themselves. All these hostages have themselves to blame. I am sorry that they are prisoners and are probably being tortured and maybe killed. That is tragic. But why put yourself in this situation? You know these people are animals. |

User ID: 49560202 Canada 08/26/2014 11:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to abcnews.go.com] Quoting: Function F7 "A third American hostage held by ISIS has been identified as a 26-year-old American woman who was kidnapped a year ago while doing humanitarian relief work in Syria. The terror group is demanding $6.6 million and the release of U.S. prisoners for the life of the young woman, who the family requested not be identified. She is the third of at least four Americans who were known to be held by ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. American journalist James Foley was executed by the group in a video that appeared online last week. Another writer, Steven Sotloff, was seen alive but under duress in the same footage. In addition to the multi-million dollar ransom, the terror group has also demanded that the U.S. release Aafia Siddiqui, an MIT-trained neuroscientist who was convicted by the U.S. in 2010 of trying to kill U.S. officials two years before, according to a supporter of Siddiqui who has been in contact with the hostage’s family." I pray to god they pay it to get the poor woman out of there. She has her whole life ahead of her. |
