Greenwald uses Bergdahl to hit Obama, Democrats

47. Here you go. On point and everything.

Greenwald is hitting the President and Democrats with this piece. He makes the point that the release was illegal because the congressional notification wasn't done. And it sounds like it was illegal, but I'm glad Obama did it anyway--I don't trust congressional Republicans in Congress, and I don't trust Feinstein. Anyway, Greenwald used that as the setup to make his main point: if the President is going to ignore Congress with regard to releasing these 5, why is he still following their wishes with respect to keeping Guantanamo open? And on this, I agree with Greenwald. That's not to say that the President isn't planning something along those lines; he may be. Greenwald's main point was that if Obama is going to ignore the will of Congress on the 5-prisoner release, he should also ignore their will with respect to keeping the place open, and on that, I agree with Greenwald.
