The Obama administration passed up multiple opportunities to rescue Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl because the president was dead-set on finding a reason to begin emptying Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to a Pentagon official.
'JSOC went to the White House with several specific rescue-op scenarios,' the official with knowledge of interagency negotiations underway since at least November 2013 told MailOnline, referring to the Joint Special Operations Command. 'But no one ever got traction.'
'What we learned along the way was that the president wanted a diplomatic scenario that would establish a precedent for repatriating detainees from Gitmo,' he said.
As did military commanders, or so this report reads:Obama must have really pissed off someone with his "Honorable and distinguished service" lie.

and had this failed, you would be making that thread......
Does even one nutter understand that we got something in return for the five prisoners? A year or two from now, we'll be releasing the rest of the detainees and get nothing in return.

The deal to free Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for five Taliban detainees held by the U.S. military nixed a broader effort by the Department of Defense to include other U.S. citizens held by the Taliban and its allies, according to a top congressional aide.
The Department of Defense had a "broader goal" of including Caitlan Coleman of York , Pa., her baby who was born in captivity and her Canadian husband, Joshua Boyle, in a deal to free Bergdahl, said Joe Kasper, chief of staff to Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., who sits on the House Armed Services Committee.
Among Americans held captive is Warren Weinstein, a contractor from Rockville, Md., who was abducted in 2011 in Pakistan and is detained by al-Qaeda militants aligned with the Taliban.
"The DoD was looking at this in the whole scope of things, to deal with these people as well," Kasper told USA TODAY in an interview Thursday. "Instead of five for one, why not five for five?"

The detentions are illegal, where the release of the five detainees was lawful in accordance with Article I, Section 9 of the US Constitution, whether an American serviceman was released or not.
What would be ideal is for more countries to agree to take all the detainees, bringing to an end the shameful Bush Era disaster that is Guantanamo.

82 of those detainees have been cleared of any wrongdoing, most of them just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
They need to let those guys go, tomorrow.
