Dan Rather: The High Price of Ransom

A recent Dan Rather Report entitled "The High Price of Ransom," details the plight of some Iraqi refugees caught in a difficult position while attempting to be admitted to the United States. HDNet, the online host for “Dan Rather Reports,” issued a press release describing Rather’s investigation: “'The High Price of Ransom' tells the story of how hundreds of refugees from Iraq who were forced to pay ransom to kidnappers are stuck in an undetermined vacuum, with faltering hopes of getting out of the Middle East. The very reason for their flight, may now be what is keeping them from gaining refugee status in the United States."


"The High Price of Ransom" is the first 26 minutes of the video.
