Rice said the U.S. was negotiating with Qatar but the handover followed secret and indirect negotiations between the U.S. and the Taliban.

So it was indirect negotiations but as many said on former thread, it was capitulation.

“And I said and explained before, Sergeant Bergdahl is a prisoner of war....”

If Obama is found to have supplied weapons to the Taliban, he should be tried for treason. Hagel just asserted that he was a prisoner of war.

The prisoners were released in Qatar.

Qatar funded Al Qaeda.

Of course news was only reported when Bush was president.

They did squat on Libya. Why did he think they would care on this?

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said the U.S. did not negotiate with terrorists in the process of exchanging the transfer of five terrorism suspects for the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. “We didn’t negotiate with terrorists,”

If we had "negotiated" we probably could have gotten the deserter for one terrorist instead of 5.

We just capitulated to their demands. We didn't offer a counter offer because that would have been "negotiations."

As long as you don't make a counter offer to the initial demand, there is no "negotiations." If we had offered to release 3 instead of five, that would have been illegal, since WE DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH TERROROSTS!

Got it?

“The recovery and rehabilitation of Bowe Bergdahl is a work in progress.”

IOW, we need to come up with a good working excuse for why he deserted his unit.

So, it is normal prisoner swap procedure to exchange one junior NCO for 5 leaders of the Taliban insurgency who are such dangerous enemies that we have them imprisoned at a camp designed to hold the most dangerous of the dangerous.
