Five years after James Foley was killed by ISIS, an increasing number of US citizens held captive by the terror group have returned home, and their families say their interactions with the government have improved
For nearly two years, as James Foley's captors demanded millions in ransom payments and moved the freelance journalist between prisons, Diane Foley set up as many meetings as she could with national security officials. The same agency would often send her to different people who had limited information on her son's case, she said. At times, she remembers she felt lied to."There really wasn't anyone in the government who was accountable.
Government officials had been vague about the legality of the payments, and in one case, an NSC official threatened to prosecute a hostage family member under laws preventing Americans from financially supporting terror groups, according to the report. Still, hostage families noted in the report that there remained ambiguity about how far the protection from prosecution extended for the private ransom payments and any negotiations with terror groups.
