What makes you think I don't understand that they might plot terrorist acts? But what you are suggesting is that we cherry pick which laws we follow and which ones we don't. Isn't that what you keep accusing the president of doing? Cherry picking is either right or it's wrong. Which is it?
Hmmmmmmmm...........................
I thought the president had pledged an oath to defend the nation, the Constitution, and uphold the laws of the US. Am I wrong? Obama violated the law in not notifying congress 30 days prior- that is clear. Add this to one of the many impeachable offenses that Obama has committed; the list keeps getting longer every day.
So you understand that these five terrorists might plot acts of terror against US citizens again and you are okay with that? What if they kill you or a family member? Will that still be okay? Five terrorists for a deserter was not in the best interest of the nation and has placed more Americans in jeopardy. A deserter who converted to Islam (as did his father) should have been left to rot with his Taliban friends.
What makes you think I don't understand that they might/could plot terrorist acts in the future? But what you are suggesting is that we cherry pick which laws we follow and which ones we don't.
How is keeping foreign mass-murdering terrorists incarcerated not following the law? What law gives foreign nationals any U.S. Constitutional rights?

“We didn’t negotiate with terrorists,” Hagel said in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Since the negotiations were handled mostly by Qatar, the United States did not negotiate directly with the Taliban. The administration’s announcement of Bergdahl’s release said only that negotiations began several weeks ago through the government of Qatar, and there was no indication of any direct contact between the United States and the Taliban.
Now that's really creative. So if we tell Qatar to negotiate with terrorists for us, that's OK?
That's like hiring a hit man to kill someone and then saying "I didn't kill anyone, the hit man did".
This administration is totally pathetic. They are liars and they break the law with impunity. The sad thing is that this sets the stage for the next president to lie and break the law even more.
Well.................... given a five to one ratio of the "swap" and recieving a pro-Taliban deserter in the deal, I agree that no negotiations were involved. The Taliban simply told Obama what to do and he agreed- no negotiations. So technically, Obama was following orders and did not negotiate.
So we are to hold people in prison who might take part in activities that are detrimental to us? That sure covers a lot of people in U.S. prisons. Plus you are suggesting we hold the GITMO detainees without due process of the law and against international law governing prisoners of war.

Let's throw you in prison and see how fast you find the part in the constitution that applies to keeping someone incarcerated without a trial. They are being held as prisoners of war. When wars end at the end of this year, we have no legal standing to hold them. Simple.
