While I am glad he is released, I wonder at what price?
Our policy (before ZERO) of never negotiating with terrorist is out the window.
Now the terrorists will be kidnapping Americans.

Now I read that he was considering desertion?
ZERO bumping his chest with "Look what I did"
Unfreaking believable.

I was spooked when I saw his father sporting the Muslin style beard and speaking Pashto at the news conference.

Later learned he grew the beard and learned the language as solidarity w/ his son and to be able to converse w/ the captors if the opportunity arose.
Now I’m spooked again.
