Making sense of this whole Bowe Bergdahl deal is hard because the Republicans who are outraged about it and demanding investigations and hinting at impeachment are the same ones who get outraged and demand investigations and hint at impeachment when Obama eats a chicken salad sandwich. But it might help to read what Fred Kaplan has to say and also what William Saletan thinks. And Paul Rosenberg reminds us that Ronald Reagan not only negotiated with terrorists but did it to undermine U.S. policy and help himself get elected president. But at least he didn't eat a chicken salad sandwich while doing it.
