It was “bad intelligence” a government official stated yesterday but good or bad the people want answers. So the government has plans for a new hostage strategy
Yesterday afternoon President Obama expressed his condolences to the families of Warren Weinstein and Giovanni Lo Porto the two hostages that were killed. Obama and his administration have decided to talk about a new hostage strategy so that there will not be any further casualties. They are considering creating a “fusion cell” which would consist of the FBI, Pentagon, State Department and Intelligence community to be rightfully informed that they are coordinating properly on rescue missions and on communicating with the families of hostages. The administration have been in touch with hostage experts to talk about a better preposition on finding hostages and bringing them home safely to their families. They expect this new hostage policy to be completed this spring. For information about yesterday’s hostage killings click here.
