and one of the things that their story really highlights is that when the state department doesn t take the right steps, and doesn t send the right message, they re actually giving permission for rogue prosecutors to institutionally kidnap americans and use them for political bargaining chips like they did with the huangs. i asked them if they thought the u.s. government had done enough to get them out of prison, so what needs to be done to rectify, to keep this from happening again? as you say, it s happening more than we know. let me give you a quick example. the day that the huangs were evicted, the u.s. announced a $1 billion arms deal. while they were telling the huang family they were doing everything they could to secure their release, president obama thanked the qatar government for the bergdahl swap. what that does is tells governments there won t be any
