The poll questions fail to mention Berghdahl was America's last POW, the questions are more propaganda.

Do you think it was write or wrong to exchange five Twliban prisoners for captive U.S. Soldier Bowe Bergdahl?

Now if you added that the "soldier" was 5 year prisoner of war tortured and caged by the Talliban, what would be the response?

Freaky pollsters are freaky propagandists.

See the buried response to question six and tell me I an wrong.
