This guy has a point. But as I learned as a young prosecutor, just because you can do something does not make it right.

Why Bowe Bergdahl and not James Foley? (http://www.redstate.com/2014/08/22/so-then-what-about-bowe-bergdahl/)


I hope he mans up and apologizes for this article.

I would change that article to say "why not both of them, and the third man who they say is next".

Bergdahl's release proves our government can do it if they want to.

Bergdahl is just as important to his family as Foley was to his.

He does have a point as you said. Do we negociate with terrorist or don't we? The answer , of course, since at least 1979 is a clear and consistent "sometimes"

Nothing to apologize for, he's right.

The Obama administration is happy to do deals with terrorists if they think they can get a media distraction or event from it. Unfortunately, that didn't work very well for them with Deserter Bowie.

If there is a lack of class it would be our liar in chief.

President Obama violated a “clear and unambiguous” law when he released five Guantanamo Bay detainees in exchange for Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, the Government Accountability Office reported Thursday.
“[The Department of Defense] violated section 8111 because it did not notify the relevant congressional committees at least 30 days in advance of the transfer,” the GAO report said. “In addition, because DOD used appropriated funds to carry out the transfer when no money was available for that purpose, DOD violated the Antideficiency Act. The Antideficiency Act prohibits federal agencies from incurring obligations exceeding an amount available in an appropriation.”
Even liberals like Dianne Feinstein (http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2014/06/04/watch-bergdahls-fellow-soldiers-parents-of-those-killed-seaching-for-him-react-to-prisoner-swap-n1847494), Jeffrey Toobin (http://www.mediaite.com/tv/jeffrey-toobin-obama-clearly-broke-the-law-on-bergdahl/), and Jonathan Turley (http://dailycaller.com/2014/06/02/law-professor-jonathan-turley-i-dont-think-theres-much-debate-that-obama-broke-law-with-prisoner-swap/#ixzz33XNIfeif) concur.
