The peaceful transfer of Bergdahl into the hands of American special-operations forces took place on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Good that this hero is free,  but negotiating with the Terrorists is something we will regret. And if this precedent leads to the same lopsided prisoner swaps that the Israelis have engaged in for years with the Pallies, we are in BIG TROUBLE!
