Crime Time
Episode 178
Should Any Nations Expect to Conduct Meaningful Negotiations with ISIS?
Hostages from Jordan and Japan have been murdered by the Islamic State, but negotiations with ISIS may be more delicate and complicated than people assume. We look at theories about ISIS staging fake killing in their videos, how Japan and Jordan dealt with ISIS, and explore negotiation techniques that can be used as conversation hacks for your benefit. We also discuss the claims by alleged 20th 9/11 hijacker Zacarias Moussaoui that Saudi Arabia supported the attacks on America with retired FBI negotiator Chris Voss in this uncensored episode of Crime Time, hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.
