He was a Taliban commander, too, not just a guy who knew al-Qaeda members.

I wouldn't have released the five members of the Taliban, certainly. They should have remained jailed for the remainder of their lives.
And it's an understatement to say "Obama negotiated badly". It was an abysmal failure. As I said, another pompous speech to make capitulation sound like victory.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Obama negotiates with terrorists, gains the release of a US deserter and possible traitor.
