we (the US) got abused in the negotiation/swap.
According to Shep Smith on FNC the original demand was for 15 Gitmo detainees and some millions of $$. If that is true there was at least SOME negotiation.

Sounds like Spinal Tap's manager trying to tell the record company that they need to leave the cover of Smell The Glove alone because it's tame compared to what they guys had REALLY asked for.

There have been talks for the swap of Bergdahl for these exact 5 guys for almost three years now, and the stories saying that on mainstream websites are more than abundant. So I would guess if Smith is correct (highly unlikely), the hagglng went like this:
Taliban: So give us the Big Five and we'll give you BB.
Obama: NO
Taliban: We offer again - give us the Big Five and we'll give you BB.
Obama: NO
Taliban: We have new offer - give us Big Five plus 10 more of ours from Guantanamo , plus 3 million American dollars.
Obama: NO
(Long pause)
Taliban: Okay, you win. We'll settle for just the Big Five and no money for BB.
Obama: YESSSS - high five !

Are we certain that money wasn't also paid. Who would you believe?
