u.s. does not negotiate with terrorists and does not pay ransoms to get people released like this. and then try to figure out how this gang that has a history of taking hostages will then let these people go, hopefully sooner rather than later. the biggest problem of this is it all happens with the backdrop of a country that has what you might call a pseudo-government. in this case the lack of a structured government means that you re not really able to work through the government there to get to this gang. there are ways that communications can get back and forth. there, of course, some people like the minister of justice in haiti who is participating and talking to the state department, but at the end of the day, this is not a situation that is going to be particularly easy for the u.s. government with the constraints we have on not paying hostage ransom demands
