So negotiations for Bergdahl's release have been underway for three years, huh? Then why did a "A senior administration official" excuse the President for violating a law he himself signed by telling the WaPo,
Due to a near-term opportunity to save Sergeant Bergdahls life, we moved as quickly as possible, the official said. The administration determined that given these unique and exigent circumstances, such a transfer should go forward notwithstanding the notice requirement.Somehow something just doesn't seem right.
