Did Bergdahl Deal Embolden Terrorists To Take U.S. Hostages? In the months since Barack Obama reached a deal with the Taliban to release Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for letting five dangerous terrorists escape custody in Guantanamo Bay, the administration’s willingness to negotiate with the brutal militants has drawn widespread criticism. Not only has Bergdahl since been labeled a deserter, if not a traitor to his country; the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office reported that the deal clearly violated federal law. Perhaps the most devastating result of the entire ordeal, however, is the message Obama’s negotiation sent to terrorist networks around the world. House Intelligence Chair Mike Rogers asserted shortly after Bergdahl’s release that the precedent set by Obama would make kidnapping Americans more attractive to our enemies. westernjournalism/bergdahl-deal-embolden-terrorists-take-u-s-hostages/
