krauthammer said that the United States, along with other Western countries, "always comes out on the short end" in hostage swaps. He included Israel in this, pointing to when the country gave up 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in return for one sergeant.

"The reason we put a value on the individual human life the way that the ones at the other end of the table don't," Krauthammer said. "That's why we always end up with unequal swaps."

>> The only people who see it as a scandal are Rs

There are a number of Democrats who are livid. Including Jay Rockefeller:

“I don’t like it when the White House says the intelligence committees were briefed. Because we weren’t.” He says Obama is “referring to .?.?. 2011-2012, when I was still in grade school.”

Feinstein. Plenty of others. They're pissed because he has illegally usurped their prerogative.

While I understand liberals supporting a liberal president, it is beyond rational understanding to see you support this kind of illegal activity on the part of any president.
