This week, three Americans being detained or held hostage abroad were released. There are currently at least 60 Americans being held captive abroad.

Diane Foley founded the James W Foley Legacy Foundation after the 2014 murder of her son by ISIS, when U.S. government policy was not to communicate with captors. “Without any engagement, his fate was sealed, and that of the other Americans”, she said. “ Nobody is going to come home if we will not speak to the people holding our citizens.” » Subscribe to MSNBC: http://on.msnbc.com/SubscribeTomsnbc Follow MSNBC Show Blogs MaddowBlog: https://www.msnbc.com/maddowblog ReidOut Blog: https://www.msnbc.com/reidoutblog MSNBC delivers breaking news, in-depth analysis of politics headlines, as well as commentary and informed perspectives.
