The bleeding hearts bleed for the lowest common denominator.
Andrew Sullivan weeps for water boarded terrorists. The terrorists at Gitmo are released under the Obama administration and then these same terrorists return to killing innocents. Obama and Andrew feel great. They think they are doing the right thing. This is how the mind of the modern neo-fascist progressive works.
I could make a case it's worse. I would rather give money than killers. ISIS asked for a female prisoner who can make dirty bombs before they asked for money. Obama opened the floodgates w/ Bergdahl.
As far as I know the Taliban just wants to be left alone. Al-Qaeda was more politically based. IS appears to be bat-shit religiously insane, or at least their fighters are.
They're not the same. The Taliban have more legitimate standing in a war with us and $100 million dollars does a lot more damage than six jihadis. We could probably blow up six jihadis at a cost of less than $100,000 if we did it right. And captured soldiers have a greater expectation of POW status and becoming part of a swap than audacious freelance journalists going into a war zone without any American back-up and no captured jihadis of their own that America has for the purpose of trading them back.
Come on. One is a humane aspect of war and the other is extortion. Plus, logistics.

Don't look at me.
Rewarding these cutthroats in any way, shape, or form is the last thing that should be done.
No difference at all.

Now shut up, there's a fund raiser tonight.

@April: We should pay no heed nor feed to the utterly pansified elements of our media. They, like their leader, seem to be on permanent vacation.
