Hello and welcome to the Slate Political Gab Fest for June 6th, 2014 D-Day anniversary.

It's the go-ahead-negotiate with terrorist edition.

I'm David Plotsey, Eddorff Slate.

Today, Bo Bergdahl, the American soldier held by the Taliban, is coming home having been swapped for five bad guys in Guantanamo, should the president have made this deal.
