During an interview with NBC News, President Obama sent a strong message to extremists who might be tempted to take U.S. soldiers captive: Doing so might result in making him release more of their leaders from Gitmo:
In @NBCNews interview, Pres Obama says of the deal for Bergdahl's release: "this is something I would do again."

Is that something that should really be telegraphed to enemies of the United States?
@NBCNewsPR @chucktodd @BWilliams We have no problem believing he'd do it again, which is the problem

@markknoller @NBCNews that's what The Gitmo guys are saying too!
— Kim Clarke (@ecrivain27) June 6, 2014
Is this a matter of Obama unilaterally closing Gitmo, five prisoner releases at a time?
@markknoller @NBCNews When its about him he believes in the Hollywood axiom of "No Bad Press." Also maybe the only way to empty Guantanamo.
