The fact that Orszag used to work for Obama was a big plus for Bianna’s family.

Exploring The Rescue of American Hostages Bianna even finds time to extend her work into her personal time. Aside from her anchoring duties, she also has a blog where she writes political stories. One famous story of her is when she wrote about how American hostages are released. She began by saying, “Many Americans and critics of President Obama are suspicious of the United States’ recent $400 million cash payment to Iran. The cash transaction between the U.S. State Department and the Iranian government coincided with the release of five American hostages who had been detained in Tehran under Iranian custody.
Longstanding diplomatic policy forbids the U.S. from paying ransom to hostage-takers. Paying ransom for hostages, as the logic goes, only encourages more hostage-taking, and this is why U.S. policy is so opposed to it. Many critics have voiced opposition to the United States’ firm stance against transacting in this way, though. It’s a contentious policy.”
To get around the long standing policy of not negotiating with terrorist, the United States government has employed a strategy of using freelance diplomats, “The U.S. State Department for decades has circumvented its ban on ransom payments by dispatching “freelance diplomats,” usually in the form of American politicians who have political clout and are well-liked in international circles. It’s a tricky kind of maneuvering. While prominent American figures have traveled to foreign countries on unofficial diplomatic missions to free hostages throughout American history, the U.S. began to employ this tactic more frequently during The Cold War.
As for the freelance diplomats, James B. Donovan’s deft handling of hostage negotiations during the Cold War set an example for Bill Richardson and the Reverend Jesse Jackson to follow in later years. Since the 1980s, both Richardson and Jackson have tallied an impressive number of successes on America’s behalf (and they continue to serve the U.S. in this capacity). “
The strategy has been effective and has had many examples where it worked. In 2009, Bill Clinton went to North Korea to negotiating the release of journalists, Euna Lee and Laura Ling. The two women were hostages because they were filming a documentary on the China and North Korea border. Fortunately, they were finally let go.
