"A gripping exploration of the ethical, legal, and strategic
considerations of a bedeviling question: Should governments pay
ransom to terrorists? Starting in late 2012, Westerners working in
Syria-journalists and aid workers-began disappearing without a
trace. A year later the world learned they had been taken hostage
by the Islamic State. Throughout 2014, all the Europeans came home,
first the Spanish, then the French, then an Italian, a German, and
a Dane. In August 2014, the Islamic State began executing the
Americans-including journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff,
followed by the British hostages. Joel Simon, who in nearly two
decades at the Committee to Protect Journalists has worked on
dozens of hostages cases, delves into the heated hostage policy
debate. The Europeans paid millions of dollars to a terrorist group
to free their hostages. The US and the UK refused to do so, arguing
that any ransom would be used to fuel terrorism and would make the
crime more attractive, increasing the risk to their citizens. We
Want to Negotiate is an exploration of the ethical, legal, and
strategic considerations of a bedeviling question: Should
governments pay ransom to terrorists?
