My views on the Bergdahl trade
Those
Afghans should have been charged and tried years ago - or, if not, then
released years ago. Third option: they should've been treated as
Prisoners of War in accordance with the Geneva Convention (and released
anyway as we end the war) - but the government wanted to have a "war"
without declaring one. It's immoral (and unconstitutional?) to just keep
a human being (no matter who) locked up indefinitely
without due process because of what they might or might not do in the
future. How can we expect other countries to embrace so-called American
ideals when we don't? And we brought a captured American home, too.
Six people who should not be locked up any longer were finally released.
What's not to like?
