10:35 am
made sense to give back a guy. and wearing the american uniform in exchange for five hard-core taliban commanders. that is a good debate to have. it would look differently if bergdahl was allowed to die in captivity. and the parents are getting a bum rap. i think it is not breaking down the partisan lines and administration is not having much else to say to defend the rosy presentation of this and trying to blame the media. >> and a lot of big questions in the stories, whether it is it a va scandal or guantanamo bay and the war in afghanistan and d- day and bergdahl. and this is major questions about the country's identity and who we are and stand for. and it is it tackled with a lot of aggressiveness from the media. >> it is how it should be.
