YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Obama Administration is defending its controversial prisonerswap deal that saw five members of Taliban released from the Guantánamo Bay prison in exchange for the release of U.S. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl by the Taliban. On Thursday, State Department Deputy Spokeswoman Marie Harf disputed some Republicans' claims that the released detainees were the "worst of the worse." We speak to civil rights attorney Frank Goldsmith who represents one of the freed Guantánamo prisoners, Khairullah Khairkhwa. We also speak to reporter Andy Worthington, who recently wrote an article called, "Missing the Point on the Guantánamo Taliban Prisoner Swap and the Release of Bowe Bergdahl."
