That they had recently found a portion of a personal possession hidden in a camp that was empty giving them a green light on a raid for a current known camp. I followed the news very closely for a good while after this tidbit of Intel and never caught anything that would hint to any sort of military action by the host country or our military.
Could it be that there are actions being taken now to try and rectify the previous wrong doings that we do not hear about?

Hostage rescue is not a mission of the Marine Corps.
For future reference, consider that anyone who would tell you about it is not going to be participating in a mission like that.
The people who do conduct hostage rescues do not talk about it.
There is an entire thread here about how the family of a hostage in a similar situation may have compromised his safety and prevented a rescue attempt by talking with the media about them.
'Nuff said.
