Maybe the men traded for Bergdahl weren’t the worst of the worst. Moe had never dealt with them which meant that they weren’t the worst of the worst or even on the list of 75 to be prosecuted for war crimes. These men had been at Guantanamo for over 12 years. They had never been charged.
No one is saying they are no longer a threat to the USA. There are no guarantees. However, the risk will never be zero.
Moe did an excellent job of explaining the situation. Thank goodness Chris Matthews wasn’t around to interrupt and answer his own questions. Alex Witt has far better manners and a more professional journalist.
