This story comes down to believing Rush, Glen Beck, Charles Krauthammer, the fox talking heads, etc. vs the US government. The conservatives have been proudly wrong on pretty much everything. Just can't go with the little boy who cries wolf all the time.

why is anyone turning this into a political issue?
I'm ok with swapping prisoners for prisoners, but this POS needs to go to jail for deserting.

You do know that there are other Americans being held? Exchanging terrorists for a deserter just doesn't make sense to me.

What were we going to do with these guys anyways? Did keeping them in jail really make anything safer? No. It was just window dressing to make people feel better.
