Sotloff Family Blasts Obama Admin. for Lying, Using Hostages as ‘Pawns’

‘The administration could have done more, they could have helped us, they could have seen them through’

Sotloff Family Spox Accuses Obama Admin Of ‘Inaccurate Statements’ and Using Hostages As Pawns (Washington Free Beacon)

Barak Barfi, a friend of the American journalist Steven Sotloff executed by ISIL terrorists and current spokesman for Sotloff’s family, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that the Obama administration has mishandled and misrepresented Sotloff’s case.

“The administration has made a number of inaccurate statements. They’ve said that the families have been consistently and regularly informed. That is not true,” said Barfi. “They said that these hostages were moved frequently. We know that for most of the beginning of this part of this year they were stationary.”

“We know that the intelligence community and the White House are enmeshed in a larger game of bureaucratic infighting,” Barfi continued. “If there continues to be leaks, the Sotloff family will have to speak out to set the record straight.”
