media today is also saying that in the 12 years those five were being held they could not build a case against them to bring them to trial so they would have had to be released by December anyway.
Either try them or don't have them in custody at all.
Hell, Obama could just drone them like he has been doing....
Gitmo was wrong from the beginning. But two wrongs just makes it more wrong.
The White House now admits that it failed to notify Congress before freeing five Taliban leaders from Gitmo in exchange for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's release. Those five jihadists will plot and execute attacks on America and Americans.
I doubt it. It took 5 years to get a settlement on Bergdahl, and in this case we had a soldier who cracked before he went home and walked up to the Taliban - not taken by force.
From discussions I've been listening to on cable news programs, and in newspaper articles ... I'm left with the impression that when we pull our throops out of Afghanistan we are required, by international law, to empty Gitmo by releasing the persons being held ... or by putting them on trial.
Who said that every terrorist in GITMO was picked up in Afghanistan or Iraq?
The "Obama 5" should have a reality show. We need the know every crime and murder they commit going forward. Thanks Barry.
It is your perception Obama planned, recommended, and basically was instrumental in this exchange?
This seems to be something that happens across parties and across conflicts. Are you really saying that Obama was the first person to do a exchange.
This one of those stupid things that would of happened regardless of Obama or Romney . . .and the people bitching about it would be Democrats (if Romney) or Republicans (if Obama).
sometimes you need to open your eyes and realize that the president you have doesn't really impact every decision.
