People, and then just looking at the past videos of him versus that video. It was pretty clear to me that his health was deteriorating. Mr. Secretary, theres been some previous questioning about the risk future risk potential future risk to American Service members if they were to have to recapture these five individuals who were swapped. In the prisoner of war exchange. Is there any evidence whatsoever that any future risk for those five is any greater than the 532 folks who have previously been released by the Bush Administration or, for that matter, the 88 that have been released from the Obama Administration, a total of 620 prisoners.

And i think what were going to see in the coming weeks is probably more of these sort of closed briefings to try and figure out what exactly is going on on the ground there. Obviously one of the immediate concerns is the safety and security of the embassy facility in baghdad and other issues with u. S. Personnel who are on the ground there. But the other thing thats going to come up and senator graham was one of the people who mentioned this over the weekend is that if there are in fact, as were now seeing reports that there are these back channel negotiations or conversations of some sort with the iranian regime, that will be something that will certainly get the attention of congress.
