The Obama administration’s swap of five Taliban leaders held at Guantanamo Bay for accused Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl may have doomed any hope Kayla Mueller’s family had for working out a deal with ISIS, the murdered aid worker’s family said in an interview.
Carl Mueller told NBC in an interview that aired Monday that he and his wife thought they could win his daughter’s freedom with a $6.2 million ransom payment, although he acknowledged the Arizona family faced a daunting task in raising that much money. But when the White House agreed last year to trade Bergdahl, who had been held for five years by the Taliban and Haqqani network, the family believes the price for their daughter went up.

Paying ransom in fact only encourages the barbarism.
Funny how that works. Even terrorists understand the law of supply and demand.
Too bad so many America-haters don't.
Speaking of Bergdahl. Does anybody know that is going on with his case?
Deserter or Fellow Traveler?
0bama has to choose how to betray his country every day, so don’t think he has it easy!
We got a deserter out of the worst deal in American History...
Obama’s not a fool - he knew what he was getting and who he was sentencing to death.
I thought she was a sympathizer anyway. I am sorry for her loved ones, but I think this was a tragedy long before her demise.
Yep. Berdahl was much more important because he is a deserter. He exhibitedbthe correct behavior. And his parents are fellow travellers with Obama. Kayla Mueller? Just another Lib with stars in her eyes about saving people. Not important enough for Obama.
Poor man. He is blaming e everyone else for his daughters decisions.
Yep remember that, they said they would release the report on him “after the election”. Well it’s now Feb. 23rd. The fact is this is just one more act of treason by a sitting US President and Congress just sits on its hands. Bergdahls own unit heard Bergdahl on the radio asking for directions to the Taliban, this guy wasn’t just a deserter, he was a defector which is why the Taliban didn’t kill him. He assisted the Taliban then he played hostage and Obama used that excuse to free 5 of his Taliban muzzie brothers knowing full well what this guy was.
The Mueller’s should’ve captured some terrorists so they could do the swap.

What on earth was she doing over there? Barbarians on the loose.
I would rather have her back than that traitor Bergdahl. And what about the 5 billion we gave, much less the 5 demons we traded. How do we simply give billions to the enemy?
Muslims will always be more important than infidels to Obama.
Exactly
“Speaking of Bergdahl. Does anybody know that is going on with his case?”
They are working on him taking over Hillary’s Kabul election team.
His defense team must have played the card that he wasn’t a deserter but on undocumented leave.
They were nitwits for viewing the Bergdahl transaction as a ransom payment. It was a fake trade, structured as a “trade” only to conceal the fact that Obola wanted to return the Taliban generals but could’t figure out a politically defensible way to do it without getting something in return. Bergdahl was nothing but the ticket to that traitorous end.
