    Frumguy: It is known since one of the foreigners who was held hostage with Sotloff, and later was freed when their government paid off the IS kidnappers, related these facts about Sotloff.

    Who agrees America should have paid off the IS in order to save these two Americans lives, like the European (France, Italy, etc.) governments have been doing for their kidnapped citizens?

    While I’m not doubting the story, I’m wondering how it is known that this is so (that he fasted on Yom Kippur).

    Was there a released/escaped prisoner who came back and told us?

    Lior- America has a strict policy not to negotiate with terrorists. If terrorists see that we’ll do what they want for the right price, it opens up a lot of doors for them.

    oy: I know the policy. Was adherence to that policy worth two beheadings?

    WM: I answered your question in the comment immediately above yours.
