Taliban: Inspired To Kidnap More Guest Opportunity: Frank Vernuccio, National Expert on Analysis of Policy & Government Affairs: Bowe Bergdahl's release from Taliban hands in exchange for 5 Taliban leaders from Guantanamo has split the nation in opinion. Not only was the agreement not "legal", the stigma surrounding Bergdahl's allegiance to his country was in question. It seems that the only winners in this exchange is the Taliban. They have stated that kidnapping higher profile Americans has encouraged them and "now they will work harder to capture an important bird." Does Taliban have the upper hand now that we've succombed to the exchange? Political and Governmental Affairs Expert Frank Vernuccio discusses the ramifications that this transfer has done to national security and how this hurts our government.
