We have released now the Taliban's Deputy Minister of Defense, a senior operative in their intelligence service that was responsible for migrating al-Qaeda intelligence tactics over the Taliban.

If someone was killed during that specific amount of time, unless they tripped and hit their head on the way to the mess hall, they were out looking for Sergeant Bergdahl.

Fairly low, Congressman. And in terms of your second question, I would point the President to the heroes at the end of this table.

In any negotiation both sides should walk away unhappy. That means it's about right.

Just very quickly, Mullah Omar, the leader of the Taliban, considered it a victory and stated so as soon as he received his five top commanders back.

If that scares us, and what's going on right now with ISIS, and Iraq, and Syria should, what's going to happen when we're dealing with a nuclear arsenal in Pakistan?

In my opinion, Bowe Bergdahl needs to be charged with desertion, missing movement, disrespect for a superior commissioned officer...

Bowe Bergdahl should not be characterized as having served with honor and distinction.

I would argue that we'll have to pay again to deal with these gentlemen in the future.

I personally believe the price was too high. Some people draw the line at Khalid Sheik Mohammad. I draw the line in the top five senior Taliban members that were requested by the Taliban.

I think what's debated and what's controversial is, one, his treatment when it was announced. But then, two, the price we paid.
