OPINION:
It is bad enough that Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, and President Obama have unwittingly aided in the funding of various terrorist organizations, but now Mr. Obama wants to authorize people to send money to kidnappers in private deals (“Obama will allow the U.S. to negotiate directly with terrorists holding hostages,” Web, June 24).
This means that all a terrorist has to do in order to make some cash off the U.S. government is kidnap a child and then press for a “collection” to get the kid back. He will essentially have a blank check from the United States.
Something is wrong here. Will no one question anything Mr. Obama does?
