To the editor,
Five “Hand Picked “Taliban detainees are set to be released from Guantanamo Bay as part of a series of “operational steps” designed to further peace talks with afghan Taliban, according to news reports. The pro’s and con’s of this decision will be discussed by those on both sides of the political aisle. Discussed by individuals who will again step into the shining light of their "glory day background" only to do absolutely nothing.
This is the "one" and "perfect" opportunity to make the "first" priority the return of the "live" American POW (Prisoner Of War), Sgt. Bowe Bergdhal being held by the Taliban. An American soldier is being held POW, hidden by terminology, ignored by the media and not even considered a debatable issue among candidates running for the office of Commander In Chief.
Fact: Taliban are going to be released. An American soldier is being held POW by the Taliban. Will the release of this American POW be part of the negation or will again American POW’s be regarded as disposable objects ? If this was "Your Son" would you care?
