1. Let Congress know about it as required by law.
2. Do the trade.
3. Make it known that regardless of any questions about the ‘how’ he was ‘captured’, that it is the policy of the military not to leave soldiers behind. I believe that any objections from the military would have never even taken place.
4. Do not take a “victory lap” in the Rose Garden with Earth Mother Mom and Taliban Dad. To Middle America, this was the equivalent of putting a red flag in front of a bull or a Nazi flag in front of a synagogue.
5. After their usual thorough investigation, let the military render their judgement and punishment as appropriate.
6. Definitely do not parade out a snot-nose girl from State (who dug her high school glasses out of a drawer so as to look authoritative) to contradict the worlds of several eyewitness soldiers.
