The Exchange...
The Obama administration continues to take heat following the trade of five Guantanamo Bay prisoners [over ten years] for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
The five Taliban, released to Qatar, are subject to strict bans on militant incitement.
The most famous swap, in 2011, involved the release of more than 1,000 Palestinian militants in exchange for one Israeli Sergeant Shalit.
The Militants released include those involved in the 2002 bombing of a Tel Aviv nightclub that killed 21 and the bombing of a hotel in Netanya in 2002 that left 30 dead.
Nothing is wrong with the exchange. The Taliban could have asked for more than five.
Detainees in Guantanamo have been prisoned for more than 10 years, with no court cases or a date for it.
Releasing these five people is really a punishment as they go back to a different world. They may not have the same social status as once had.
Cuban prisoners in USA rioted when heard that they would be returned to Cuba.
Things are not what it appear. Obama is Ending the War in Afghanistan, not starting it.
Just a thought.
