Are war profiteers. She is my senator, I have called written email her a lot over the years. She is NOT a democrat. I haven't voted for her the last 2 times she has run.

Proving yet again that having a D next to your name does not make on a Democrat. She and her husband are vile, and absolutely war profiteers. Both of California's Senators need to be replaced.

A truly despicable pair. Another Californian here who has long since recognized Feinstein for what she really is.

the actual captors possibly weren't informed of the swap ahead of time and might be angered/react badly.

She has lost her way. Maybe a few years with the not dangerous taliban will help her find her way and imbue her with empathy.

Either they're a big deal or they aren't. If they are a big deal then being held captive by them is a credible threat in and of itself; solitary confinement, in darkness, for months, in a cage part of the time... all sounds bad to me. But if they're not a threat then these 5 people aren't that big a deal since the ones actively out there holding prisoners aren't even a threat. I'm having a hard time with the whole logically consistence of their shallow argument.

be viewed by Americans as torture. If Bergdahl's conditions in captivity are considered to be torture, then what about the conditions in which we have held some prisoners?

I'm just guessing but it could be very unpleasant for Republicans if the American people hear about Bergdahl's treatment and react with empathy and then learn that we have done similar things to our prisoners.

Remember. That is just my guess as to one of the reasons for the reaction from the Republicans.

They don't want Americans to revisit the discussion about torture.

Bergdahl. Neither did most people in Congress. Neither did many people in Obama's administration prior to 2013. Neither did Hillary Clinton or Leon Panetta or David Petraeus. Bergdahl was inconvenient, and imperfect. Had he not had a cloud over him, of course, there would have been more urgency, and his parents knew that. So his mistake almost doomed him twice over--first getting him captured, and then denying him worthiness of being rescued. You only have political value if they can call you a hero. So almost everyone was waiting for him to die, hoping for him to die, because the fallout would be Obama's alone. Who would've thought the guy would survive five years with the Taliban? Probably not his platoon mates, the guys who are ganging up to bash him before he even comes home--they're in a hurry trying to get their stories out before he can talk. Why? I'm not buying that they are just SOOOO angry at him for deserting, that's bullshit. I wonder what happened in the immediate days before Bergdahl disappeared?

reason or another.

With his unit and wrote about it before he passed. There were horrific things done. Bowe wasn't the only one who came to realize they were NOT helping the Afghans. Two of the people speaking out have also had bad things written about them.

Focus on 2014. Warren ISN'T running in 2016.

You might be one of the paid GOP trolls

Sit on the information they know and let the loud mouths shout until they cannot anymore and then show them what fools they are. Now it has come his father is a Republican some of the GOP crap will quiet some.

The military 'likes' your post.

That is what a cover-up is.

So far McCain and others has been caught up in flip-flops, caught on video saying two different opinions. O'Reilly has shown his stuff and now it has come to light the father is a Republican. Enjoy their turmoil, let them rant, they don't have the right story and are too tied up into trying to make up stories. So far, I have not seem a cover-up.

He left the base voluntarily. What he did after that and how he spent the next five years is yet to be known.

Being somewhere that you shouldn't be at a given moment doesn't necessarily change your status as an American soldier.

Several videos were released in the years he was 'captive' and he seemed to be very relaxed in all of them. Our military is very skilled at cover-ups such as the Pat Tillman shooting or the Jessica Lynch fable. Usually the truth comes out eventually.

I like how you put captive in quotes. That's a nice touch. I don't think he willingly joined the Taliban.

Really, you should just stop. This line of attack is utterly and completely pathetic.

But I won't stop. I will stop when there is a transparent investigation. Will you?

Even if everything you claim is true, your attack is still pathetic.

You must be auditioning for Breitbart.

And you have not seemed to get bothered by those. The people that is who have said he was held in "horrible conditions'.

Not yours possibly. If you are on an assigned job or in an assigned place then you are captured. If you deliberately go off a base on your own in an hostile environment I don't consider that a typical 'capture'. How can you say he was captured -- if we don't know yet?

It's clear the military considered him captured. Let me guess, you also believe that if a kid is told to stay in one place, but wanders off and is taken against their own will, they're not kidnapped, either?

So we have something we can share.

And, whether you want to believe it or not, they hold more weight than you. So, next time, don't make a statement as fact when it's merely your bullshit opinion.

You will be saying 'Well, we weren't told that!' as you try to run away from your posts.

You're sure acting like you've got all the facts, Maybe you should audition for a gig at FOX News since they clearly know exactly what happened there too.

What a fucking joke.

That is speculation from unnamed sources. The military has not said that.

Advanced Asshole Training. So they'd be even worse if they had to spend 5 years with Dianne Frankenstein.

He said we should trade 5 Democrats to the Taliban. Interesting.

If it were not for the blood of Moscone and Milk, we would never have heard of her.

I wrote her to express my displeasure.

You are now officially an honorary Republican.

Gawd, is she ever a disgusting piece of shit.

via videotape was entirely reminiscent of of Dr Frist's video diagnosis of Terry Schiavo not being a brain-dead vegetable.

As post-mortem tests showed, her brain had serious atrophy, showing that Frist was a total hack, but that 'diagnosis' gave cover for all sorts of Republican legal idiocy. Now they're not even bothering to put MD frontmen out to give such diagnoses, but just any given GOP with a loud mouth is pretending to perform medical diagnoses.

Here's a hint, GOP. Leave it to the professionals, and let them diagnose interactively with the patient, not 'via videotape'.

Not 28, or 29 days, but running the clock for 30 days. Hopefully Ms. Feinstein will have some "credible" fun while in captivity. If and when released, she will be eternally grateful that the process was followed chapter and verse.

This is a flaming first for me, because she is a Dem and has considerable seniority to use on behalf of California and the nation. The Senate is all about seniority -- but there comes a time...

make myself vote for her, I left it blank.
