Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) isn’t the only legislator shocked and disappointed by the release of five senior Taliban leaders from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss too is concerned with idea of the administration negotiating with terrorists.
Though he said he’s pleased to join the American people in welcoming home Sgt. Bergdahl, he’s concerned with the methods that made that possible.
6 months ago, I was assured by admin they wouldn't consider release of senior Taliban leaders w/o consulting Congress.

Concerned admin broke long-standing policy of not negotiating w terrorists, and also did so w/o notification of Congress as required by law

These men are not soldiers; they are dangerous terrorists and President Obama should be treating them as such
