Pleas For Sgt. Bergdahl

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Yesterday the nation’s top civilian and military leaders responded to heartbreaking pleas for help.

Those pleas come from the family of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, an American soldier seized by the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2009 and held captive ever since.

The trouble is, as Sgt. Bergdahl’s family revealed earlier this week, the Taliban have been insisting, in secret negotiations with the Obama Administration, that in order for him to be freed, five of their top leaders currently detained in Guantanamo Bay must be released in exchange.

The five are senior commanders, intelligence officers and otherwise exceedingly dangerous jihadists. Painful as it is, the United States and free world more generally, cannot afford to return such men to the battlefield and make no mistake that’s what will happen if they are let loose.
