Prisoner Swap Brings Relief, Concern

Monday, 02 June 2014 | by Pat's Picks

The release of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl by the Taliban in a swap for five Guantanamo prisoners is the subject of a front page story and an editorial in the Wall Street Journal. The Journal weighs in on the propriety of such deals - saying this isn’t the same as prisoner swaps in previous battles that have come along with a peace deal. The Journal says in this case, “the Taliban can continue the war with their ranks enhanced.”
