48. Because Wilson is far more savvy than to force the hand

of someone who is most likely working toward the best interests of the country.

No, this is indicative of nothing.

{oe}Remember Peggy Say?

Her Brother was held hostage in Lebannon from 1985 to 1991. Peggy became a major activist in bringing attention to her brother's plight in order to get the US government to 'do more' to secure his release.

The attention she brought to his captivity, and the subsequent pressure that put on the government, served to increase Terry's value as a hostage. As a result of her activism, Terry was the last hostage to be realeased by his captors...

The more she spoke out, the more valuable he became as a hostage, the harder it was for the government to secure his release.

It is not always a good thing to make noise.
