Rep. John Delaney, D-Md., introduced legislation last week to set up a “czar,” soon after President Barack Obama apologized for a drone strike in January that accidentally killed Warren Weinstein of Maryland and Giovanni Lo Porto, an Italian citizen. The strike targeted an al-Qaida compound along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
“Ordinary families like ours should have an official who can coordinate the efforts of government agencies and whose sole responsibility is to bring American hostages home,” Weinstein’s wife, Elaine, said in a statement in which she also thanked lawmakers for congressional resolutions honoring her husband’s memory.

Is the thought process behind this that of the czar having more intelligence than the President?
You can take the intelligence comment however you want.
Seems to me that Obama would love to wash his hands of this responsibility.
Create another layer of bureaucracy another great idea from the Dems. We already have a hostage czar it is the Secretary of State.
We have already opened the can of worms that is negotiating with terrorist. Sometimes, friendly casualties are accepted for the greater good. Never negotiate.
