In hindsight we can all find reasons to justify our preconceived opinions.
i wouldn't be able to find any reason to justify the release of 5 high ranking terrorists (comparable to 4 star generals) for the release of a traitor who may have aided the enemy.
but whatever helps you sleep at night

Do you really think the majority who are criticizing the release actually went back and reviewed/parsed the difference in the 2 situations?
Also, would you consider ignorance a sufficient defense against hypocrisy?

Who does this on every single issue/post that comes up before they comment. Thats extremely unrealistic and you know it. Who's trying to score points now a want? Did you just go back thru all of your post to see if this was a hypocritical post you made before hitting enter? C'mon.
Actually I indicated in my post that we're all hypocrites to some degree. And if you're not, you're doing it wrong. You can't live by dogma alone.

Which I find astounding. Considering W. couldn't even enjoy a fricking pretzel without being criticized.

If pure stupidity were a virtue, you'd have your ticket to heaven already punched.

I didn't know the exact number, or even an approximate number, but I knew it was in the hundreds.
There have been comments about the recidivism rates for years and you cannot have recidivism rates without having released enough people to make the calculation.
It was my understanding that the ones released were the LEAST likely to engage in further terrorism - they attempted to review each case and determine if they had been dangerous actors or were just swept up in a general raid of the area. They tried to release those who may very well have been innocent of any terrorism.
But overall, they were working from the bottom of the list, not the top. If the recidivism rate for those is around 30%, then the recidivism for these five is going to be 100%.
