Some are trying to cast objections...in order to obscure the idiocy of reloading the Taliban's senior leadership in Afghanistan. These are not some Hamas rock throwers being exchanged, they are mass murdering war criminals, some of which have committed to return to the fight.
What is not ever mentioned is the number of lives lost in securing their initial capture.
'Pretty much what I was about to post my own darned self.
The cluelessness of the Obama Admin with regard to this swap is well sumed up by the all-knowing comment made by Sec. Kerry when he said it's "a lot of baloney" to suggest the five Taliban goons released in exchange for Bergdahl will return to battle and kill Americans. History clearly suggests they will.
(Edit: And remember that one of the Taliban 'leaders' who was a part of the "negotiations" on the Bergdahl swap SAID, "It's better to kidnap one person like Bergdahl than kidnapping hundreds of useless people. It has encouraged our people. NOW EVERYBODY WILL WORK HARD TO CAPTURE SUCH AN IMPORTANT BIRD."
Hell-oooooooo...)
