Adam Smith (D. Wash) is the ranking member, and his remarks make it clear that he does not understand the difference between a criminal and an enemy combatant.  They are in Guantanamo for good reason, perhaps confusing to Democrats but only by choice.  There is nothing wrong with holding enemy combatants who we have been fighting in the field. 

The Taliban is the enemy.  The goal was to remove them from power in Afghanistan, and that has somehow morphed into a willingness to negotiate with some part of the Taliban, "we aren't sure which ones", in order to end the war in Afghanistan, not win it.  Emptying Guantanamo Bay of the worst of the worst prisoners, like the Taliban Dream Team, make it much easier to deal with the less dangerous prisoner.

Chuckie is making his opening statement now.

Sounds like Hagel is claiming that the whole deal only came together in a couple of hours, and that's why the Congress was not informed.

I would love it if Leon Panetta were to appear before this committee and testify about what he thinks of this affair.

Chuck Hagel is sounding awfully dramatic. He’s almost convinced me already it is wise that they released 5 Osama bin Ladens.

He's talking about warnings that came through "Qatari intermediaries" about Ibn Bob Bowe al Ameriki's "declining health" that told the Administration that "time was not on our side".

For starters, Qatar has been acting as frontman for most Islamic terrorist groups around the world, especially the Taliban.  They are crafty, they knew that the Obama Administration was anxious to close Gitmo, and they arranged the bait on this deal in such a way as to make it irresistible to an amateur infidel President and his teenage infidel aids and women who surround him.

Obama was played like a cheap instrument by Qatar.
