ideology. ostensibly for humanitarian reasons, nobody gets a free lunch. there were obviously back channel negotiations that i don't think we'll be privy too. the timing is important. there was pressure on the group to release curtis, and it presented an opportunity for themselves to present themselves in a different life. >> secretary of state john kerry said that all tools have been used to facilitate the release. when you say tools, what does the u.s. have at its disposal. you mentioned back channels, can you mention an example of what could have been used to facilitate. >> sure, there's a story we'll hear about the diplomatic negotiations and pressure put on qatar, and qatar putting pressure on al nusra. we probably won't here about any
