This Republican flip-flop on the Bergdahl affair is especially douchey, because Oliver North personally assisted in secretly and illegally selling missiles to Iran in return for release of non-POW hostages, and then secretly and illegally diverting the purchase money to right-wing death squads to overthrow the government of Nicaragua. Instead of telling Congress of the deal immediately afterwards, he and his Reagan administration conspirators worked hard to make sure Congress NEVER found out. But Congress eventually found out, and North was eventually convicted of a felony. Norths conviction was later overturned -- not because he was innocent, but because admitting his crimes during congressional testimony may have made it more likely that a jury would convict him of them later. President Bush (the Greater) eventually pardoned the rest of the conspirators.
