Some in Congress are attacking the Obama Administration for using diplomacy and transferring prisoners from Guantanamo to bring home U.S. prisoner of war Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
No critic of the Administration has explained how President Obama and Secretary of Defense Hagel were supposed to bring Bowe home without negotiating with the Taliban or agreeing to the prisoner transfer. None has explained why, if the prisoners at Guantanamo are "prisoners of war," they should not be treated like prisoners of war in other conflicts: exchanged for other prisoners of war, or released at the end of hostilities.
Show your support for diplomacy and for bringing our soldiers home by signing our petition.
That's why I signed a petition to The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama.

That is not a good amount. I doubt that the President will see this. Most of the population is not happy about the situation and doubt they will thank the President. We will see but I think letting this simmer down is a much better option. This is not a positive situation any way around.

What if you were the very first one to sign? You would rather wait until there were maybe a million signatures first? From what I can tell, it just started today.

It could be a little negative. They are at 11,000 now so that is good.
