Here’s where we REALLY need to worry about the repercussions from America’s treatment of detainees, first and foremost at this point the refusal to give them POW status.
The craven idiots who refused to play by the established rules will have to bear some responsibility for what happens here, if nothing else in their stained souls in long, dark sleepless nights.
Sure, there’s no special reason to believe that these folks would have treated Private Bergdahl correctly, but did we need to make it an easy decision for them?
