You have this great "Leave No Man Behind" policy, which is really admirable. The same policy that means the likes of John McCain didn't die in a Viet Cong prison 40 years ago. Prisoner exchanges are also a pretty standard diplomatic procedure.
Now as for the accusation of Bergdhal being a traitor and a deserter, that will all be dealt with in good time. You can be pretty sure that the moment he arrives back in the USA he'll have a dozen different organisations interrogating him over various facts. The DoD already has extensive files on everything already. They really just need his testimony before starting whatever kind of court-martial or other proceedings against him. Ultimately it's military courts that will decide what to do with Bergdhal, not Fox, not CNN, not MSNBC or any other interested media party.
"I mean, if everyone had a soul, there would be no contrast by which we could appreciate it. For giving us this perspective, we thank you." - Nate
Obama negotiates with terrorists, gains the release of a US deserter and possible traitor.

"Terrorists" doesn't seem accurate. Enemy combatants, okay, but even that was limited.

Wasiq was involved with relations with al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups. He is a terrorist.

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