I understand your points and they are based on past policy - don’t negotiate with terrorists - I get that. What I find unacceptable is the fact THEY (WH) negotiate with terrorists and break laws left and right as it suits them. Their illegal actions affect millions of people. Yet they lecture this family about the law? Really pisses me off.
Yes, the White House is indeed an outlaw organization. That Five Terrorist Chieftans for the price of one semi-berserk deserter is treasonous, and can never be justified.
