Since when do we negotiate with terrorists? We simply release 5 terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba? For 1 U.S. soldier?
Does this now not increase the risk of our soldiers, especially female soldiers from being kidnapped and tortured?
Is this not a violation of American law by bypassing the required 30 day notice that must be given to Congress? Is this an impeachable offense?
Did the Obama administration do this to deflect the attention that has been on Obama for the Veteran Administration scandal?
