POW/MIA league: Bergdahl release sets troubling precedent

The POW/MIA community’s support for Bergdahl’s safe return has been unanimous, she said, but not without what she called “a universal concern about negotiating. … The kind of concession that would release known terrorists on an equivalency basis with a U.S. serviceman is repugnant to many.”

The release of five terrorist detainees in exchange for Bergdahl may create a situation that could “maximize the danger to people still there, as well as other places around the world,” she said.
