bring in george washington university professor, law professor jonathan turley. >> hi. >> we will discuss the other implications in a moment but first what on earth did colonel peters think he was accomplishing by saying such a thing? >> i'm not too sure. i was shocked when i read the quote this afternoon. you know, it's a very dangerous thing to tell the enemy that the soldier you're holding is not very valuable to us because they can then use him as a symbol of a different kind. they can abuse and torture him. because colonel peters is suggesting we really don't care if this guy comes back alive. what's really shocking is his statement, he goes on to say this guy is obviously a liar. one thing we know is this soldier is a liar because he made these statements. as you know, u.s. soldiers that have been captured have been forced to do confessions and videotapes including people like john mccain and we don't call them liars. i don't know about this colonel peters or whether he has ever been in combat. but i think that, you know, you really are insulting not just t
