American Journalist James Foley’s mother is coming forward with the startling news that the Obama administration threatened to charge them with criminal counts if they attempted to pay the ransom for their son before he was beheaded at the hands of ISIS terrorists. A NSC spokeswoman said that the family of Foley had been told that U.S. laws ban them from financing terrorism — but that nobody threatened them with prosecution if they paid a ransom: “Without getting into the details of our private discussions with families, the law is clear that ransom payments to designated individuals or entities, such as ISIL, are prohibited. It is also a matter of longstanding policy that the U.S. does not grant concessions to hostage takers. Doing so would only put more Americans at risk. That is what we convey public and what we convey privately.”
