White House reviewing policy toward U.S. hostages held by militants

I thought they were almost all dead by now....

This better not involve the paying of one penny to these animals.

The U.S. government should not encourage these murders by paying terrorists. The situation will only get worse.

Stop people from going there who become victims, eventually these maddog head cutters will run out of people to use as victims.

And bomb the crQp outta these dogs and do not relent.

In your dreams. With all the Western do-gooders travelling to places like Syria in order to help, ISIS will never run out of fresh hostages. And while the Americans are still dancing around the issue, European governments have already been paying millions and millions on a regular basis.

It is strong and continuing source of income for the Islamic State. And the occasional beheadings serve as an added incentive to pay quickly.

And while the Americans are still dancing around the issue,

It is clear to me that not paying is the sign of intestinal fortitude. I don't know why you would assume the US would lose that and change position.

If people go to war-torn areas, even with good intentions, They. Are. On. Their. Own.

Sorry, but that's it.
