[QUOTE="roadrunner2012, post: 1341403, member: 40736"] Well, we first started negotiating with terrorists back when Washington, Adams and Jefferson were presidents. Each negotiated with the Barbary pirates. Ronald Reagan certainly negotiated with terrorists in the Iranian hostage crisis, and what about Iran- Contra? GW Bush paid a ransom to a radical Islamist group to free a missionary couple held in the Philippines, except the man was killed, after we paid the ransom. We (the Bush administration) declared war on the Taliban in 2001. The men being held were prisoners of war, without charges being brought against them. Only one of the five (Noori) was an actual 'bad guy', and we couldn't bring him to trial, because we tortured him. I'm pretty sure 'terrorists' know that kidnapping is something they can attempt, as well as outright murder. [/QUOTE]
