but the bottom line is dangerous people shouldn t be released but now, it seems that the president decided he wants to empty gitmo because now they made a new assessment and de determined half the remaining prisoners could be released because one showed an interest in having a baby, another one took up yoga and another one wants a milk and honey farm, which by the way is taken i would argue from the koran. they want to empty gitmo. what does that mean for the average american? we ll release every detain knee from the battle field? the president seems to think the war is over. hot t hostility. the problem is the taliban has not decided to lay down arms. in fact, when they got a taliban prisoner back, the response was he is worth 12,000 jihad
so there is a lot of confusion. but the bottom line is dangerous people shouldn t be released but now, it seems that the president decided he wants to empty gitmo because now they made a new assessment and de determined half the remaining prisoners could be released because one showed an interest in having a baby, another one took up yoga and another one wants a milk and honey farm, which by the way is taken i would argue from the koran. they want to empty gitmo. what does that mean for the average american? we ll release every detain knee from the battle field? the president seems to think the war is over. hot t hostility. the problem is the taliban has not decided to lay down arms. in fact, when they got a taliban prisoner back, the response was he is worth 12,000 jihad
impact the incentive behavior for the taliban and al quaid and are we prepared to encounter any new behavior? congressman, i would answer it this way first that almost everybody on the committee knows some more than others who have served in war. war is a dangerous business, and a soldier is always, always at ri risk. that is number one. two, you probably know that the taliban has standing orders to capture american service members, and that is a standing o order for 12 years. so there is nothing new here. about where the taliban have been and continue to be. but i will say this, now that we have the last prisoner back, this very much gives us more flexibility quite frankly to free up resources that everyday
you know, it was not easy. hillary clinton sat down for an interview with nbc, and you can catch that tonight on nbc nightly news, and that is your dish of scambled politics. the criticism keeps fly in the prisoner swap. thank you for being with us this morning. you understand, by the way, when she says dead broke, it s dead broke at $250,000. that s not dead broke like our dead broke. you get that. i get it completely. bergdahl, you want to talk bergdahl. they are upset that an estimated 80 branch officials were briefed about this ahead of time, the prisoner swap, but members of congress weren t. why do you think that is? well, i think i have an idea. yeah, you think? it s been leaked out, imagine. you re in the administration, you re involved in these very delegate negotiations to get a prisoner back, and you brief members of congress, half of whom you know hate you, right?
