Bergdahl release arrangement could threaten the safety of Americans, Republicans say - The Washington Post


Bergdahl release arrangement could threaten the safety of Americans, Republicans say
"“Trading five senior Taliban leaders from detention in Guantanamo Bay for Bergdahl’s release may have consequences for the rest of our forces and all Americans. Our terrorist adversaries now have a strong incentive to capture Americans. That incentive will put our forces in Afghanistan and around the world at even greater risk,” House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard P. McKeon (R-Calif.) and the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, James M. Inhofe (Okla.), said in a joint statement."


Obama was desperate for some good news, regardless of the cost.
