the bigger question to come out of last weekend's deal is whether the price we paid freeing five high-ranking taliban leaders was just too high. charles krauthammer agreed it had to be done, however, radless of bergdahl's conduct. he remains a member of the united states military and therefore is subject to military justice and b, subject to a soldier's creed that we don't leave anyone behind. what to do? free him then try him. make the swap and then, if the evidence is as strong as it now seems, court-martial him for deserti desertion. one thing he knocked was the white house seemingly taking a victory lap early next week. this is not victory. this is a conceit. a dirty deal. perhaps as a matter of principle carried out with regret, resignation, even revulsion.
