The Obama administration held on to British-sourced intelligence that could have saved the lives of American hostages held by ISIS in Syria, according to a report that all but pins the deaths of James Foley, Steven Sotloff and Kayla Mueller on that decision.
The Daily Beast, a website thats no enemy of the Obama administration, alleged in a scathing report last week that the White House frustrated British officials by sitting on the intelligence reports, waiting an entire month after receiving them only to stage a (failed) rescue attempt based, in the end, on the exact same intelligence.
White House Stalled ISIS Rescue. Foley, Sotloff, and Mueller Died, the Beasts headline reads.
Heres more:
Toward the end of May, the British government had identified two or three locations in and around the Syrian city of Raqqa, the de facto capital of the so-called Islamic State, where the militants had moved hostages during the previous weeks and months. But the British were not absolutely sure in which location the Westerners were held. The captives included American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, as well aid worker Kayla Mueller. The information based on debriefings of European captives who had been released, satellite and drone surveillance, and electronic eavesdropping was not definitive in May.
Then, in early June, London had a positive identification and that information was shared with Washington, said a British source. The delay of nearly a month before the rescue bid was mounted remains a source of bewilderment for British officials.
But a U.S. official said that inside the White House, Obamas senior national-security advisers were not willing to base a raid on intelligence developed by a foreign service. The issue was that they didnt trust it, and they wanted to develop and mature the intelligence, because it wasnt our own, said the U.S. official, who asked to remain anonymous when discussing sensitive hostage-rescue efforts.
They got the information. They just didnt trust it. And they did sit on it, theres no doubt about that, the official said.
After Americans began dying, one by one, in gruesome and public events tailor-made for the media-consumer culture, the victims families began to question the Obama administrations decisions.
The State Department said they were connecting with the French and everybody at the highest levels, Foleys mother, Diane, told the Beast. Very specific information was available as early as mid-March. And thats whats been so tough for us as families, because apparently they were held in the same place all those months.

These people are pure evil. Barry and Hillary do not care about American lives. They put in motion the events that got our people k**led in Ben Ghazi too and then did nothing to help them when we could. Barry probably watched it live in the situation room then just went to bed around 8:30. Barry also tells our enemy what our plans are in advance. That is treason and calls for death by firing squad.
