The Negotiator

Somali pirates and Montana Freemen might not seem to have much in common. But when it comes to the hostages they take and the men and women called in to try and keep those hostages alive, those kind of abductors are too much the same.

The standoffs we see in the news often involve a political or social ploy. For negotiators that is a starting point. When the situation is more emotional it gets significantly more complicated.

Former FBI chief negotiator Gary Noesner is used to high-stakes, emotional situations.

The crisis negotiator dealt with kidnappers, terrorists and many others pushed to the edge during his thirty-year career.

Noesner talks about his career as a negotiator, including the 1993 at the Branch Davidian disaster in Waco, TX.
