Hindsight is 20/20 - I reckon I am glad obama took steps to get him home. I wonder if members of congress would have taken steps to block it -even if they knew then what they know now.
Imagine the outrage if he had gone full ISIS and was fighting on the militant side - and it became publicly known that we had passed up an opportunity to retrieve him.
He is an American - he is our problem - we should deal with him. I am fine if he rots in jail for the rest of his life - as long as justice is served. Every soldier that died or was injured either searching for him - or due to information gained by the taliban from him deserves the justice of him getting prosecuted for his crimes.
As it has been expressed that he remains innocent until proven guilty - If my memory serves - military court system is somewhat different from civilian court system; not a sympathetic system.
As far as the 5 exchanged for him - - if they return to the battlefield - or are found to be active in terrorism - they can be dealt with properly ;
Gitmo continues to be a black eye for America. There are many there who will live out the rest of their lives in captivity having never been charged with or prosecuted for a crime. If they are considered POWs - are we obliged to free them upon end of war? if they are terrorists - are we obliged to prosecute them?
What would Ted do?
