The more we hear about this — the more it seems that it was all a ruse to release the Taliban commanders.
I wonder if Flynn’s departure from DIA was caused by this?
Gee...I wonder what the military purge was all about these past 6 years.
It would be interesting to know if the CIA station chief in Afghanistan objected to this and if that was right before he was outed by the Obama administration.
Wow... it’s worse than I thought. If the administration denies paying a ransom then that means they did in fact pay a ransom. What a bunch of idiots.
It looks like Obama thinks this deal was good for America’s long range interests. He also thought that if the GOP or others were involved, they would blow it up. Subsequent events pretty much confirms this. What is still open is what is correct? The future activities of the 5 released and a determination by a court martial for the soldier will tell us. Don’t know about you Freepers but I’m hoping for the best.

“Combat Outpost Zerok was almost overrun, multiple soldiers were wounded and PFCs Justin Casillas and Aaron Fairbairn lost their lives fighting that day,” the soldier told me. (I wrote about their deaths in my July 8, 2009 column, not knowing they were related to the Bergdahl mess.)
Is there an explanation why Bergdahl is the ONLY Taliban ‘captive’ to LIVE!
$inator DiFi says the White House broke the law on Bergdahl.
