The Impact of James Foley's Kidnapping

Diane Foley shares the emotional turmoil her family endured when her son, James, was kidnapped by ISIS in Syria. After a year of uncertainty, they received a ransom demand for over $100 million, while the U.S. government upheld a strict policy against negotiating with terrorists. This resulted in a situation where other hostages were released through negotiations, yet James was left without any viable hope for return. The heart-wrenching realization of his captivity and the government's refusal to engage had a profound impact on Diane and her family's mental and emotional well-being.
