I think he's full of crap.
I'd like to see who he's going to hire to ferret these people out in an Arabic-speaking country, where U.S. Special Forces and others have trouble doing it. And supposedly he's already had some success after what, a few days? Wasn't aware that James Bond was moonlighting.
I'd give better than even odds that this guy has shot this out to the newspapers as the one small thing he could do to get back at his captors: Get them to start sleeping with one eye open.
