Americans Divided Over Soldier's Release in Exchange for Taliban Fighters American public opinion is divided about the swap of five Taliban prisoners for a U.S. soldier who was held captive by the Taliban in Afghanistan for nearly five years. Opponents have questioned the circumstances of the soldier's capture and fear the exchange will encourage hostage takers worldwide. Supporters say that no American should be left behind no matter the cost. Zlatica Hoke reports that one place where Americans stand firmly by Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl is his hometown in Idaho. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/media/video/1934190.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/media/video/1934190.html
