question ░░░░░░░░ it worth it PSAKI ░░░░░░░░ me first say as ░░░░░░░░ know as a lawyer ░░░░░░░░ is a military justice ░░░░░░░░ being handled by the ░░░░░░░░ This is a step ░░░░░░░░ the process and there ░░░░░░░░ many steps passed here ░░░░░░░░ it worth it Absolutely ░░░░░░░░ have a commitment to ░░░░░░░░ men and women serving ░░░░░░░░ sea serving in our ░░░░░░░░ defending our nationals security ░░░░░░░░ day that we re ░░░░░░░░ to everything to bring ░░░░░░░░ home if we can ░░░░░░░░ that s what we ░░░░░░░░ in this case KELLY ░░░░░░░░ folks who are critical ░░░░░░░░ this say yes we ░░░░░░░░ have a commitment to ░░░░░░░░ every man and woman ░░░░░░░░ However there were other ░░░░░░░░ of doing it Your ░░░░░░░░ on that PSAKI Well ░░░░░░░░ I think there are ░░░░░░░░ a range of decisions ░░░░░░░░ tough decisions the president ░░░░░░░░ the United States always ░░░░░░░░ to make and that ░░░░░░░░ been the case for ░░░░░░░░ It doesn t reach ░░░░░░░░ desk unless it s ░░░░░░░░ tough decision That was ░░░░░░░░ the case here KELLY ░░░░░░░░ was a tough decision ░░░░░░░░ was it the right ░░░░░░░░ I mean that s ░░░░░░░░ question Look at these ░░░░░░░░ of five Taliban guys ░░░░░░░░ trying to return to ░░░░░░░░ now and they didn ░░░░░░░░ need to be released ░░░░░░░░ Gitmo PSAKI This is ░░░░░░░░ commitment that we have ░░░░░░░░ we ve long made ░░░░░░░░ made for decades We ░░░░░░░░ the ability to track ░░░░░░░░ work with the Qataris ░░░░░░░░ reason that we know ░░░░░░░░ individuals are reportedly were ░░░░░░░░ and engaging with individuals ░░░░░░░░ shouldn t be it ░░░░░░░░ because we track it ░░░░░░░░ means the system of ░░░░░░░░ works KELLY What about ░░░░░░░░ fact that the supervision ░░░░░░░░ these five top Taliban ░░░░░░░░ over in Qatar is ░░░░░░░░ to end in two ░░░░░░░░ That doesn t seem ░░░░░░░░ a good idea PSAKI ░░░░░░░░ obviously these plans and ░░░░░░░░ are designed and they ░░░░░░░░ be discussed and we ░░░░░░░░ do everything we can ░░░░░░░░ ensure that the proper ░░░░░░░░ and requirements are in ░░░░░░░░ with the government of ░░░░░░░░ Two months from now ░░░░░░░░ a long time as ░░░░░░░░ relates to diplomacy KELLY ░░░░░░░░ t this at base ░░░░░░░░ effort to get these ░░░░░░░░ guys out of Gitmo ░░░░░░░░ was no other way ░░░░░░░░ get them out This ░░░░░░░░ a way of getting ░░░░░░░░ some the most controversial ░░░░░░░░ there in exchange on ░░░░░░░░ for servicemen who serviceman ░░░░░░░░ at least Susan Rice ░░░░░░░░ telling us served honorably ░░░░░░░░ Well this was an ░░░░░░░░ to bring an individual ░░░░░░░░ who served his country ░░░░░░░░ This is what the ░░░░░░░░ say It wasn t ░░░░░░░░ much about getting burned ░░░░░░░░ back as it was ░░░░░░░░ getting Bergdahl back as ░░░░░░░░ was about getting these ░░░░░░░░ out something the critics ░░░░░░░░ was a big mistake ░░░░░░░░ what we ve seen ░░░░░░░░ them PSAKI Well Megyn ░░░░░░░░ we have not seen ░░░░░░░░ Yes we ve seen ░░░░░░░░ of online activity but ░░░░░░░░ that means we re ░░░░░░░░ it and that process ░░░░░░░░ working with the Qataris ░░░░░░░░ working crosstalk KELLY That ░░░░░░░░ a best way You ░░░░░░░░ t have to monitor ░░░░░░░░ They are behind bars ░░░░░░░░ Well Megyn I think ░░░░░░░░ president has been clear ░░░░░░░░ it is in our ░░░░░░░░ security interest to close ░░░░░░░░ But this was about ░░░░░░░░ home an individual who ░░░░░░░░ his country KELLY What ░░░░░░░░ you make of some ░░░░░░░░ the folks today are ░░░░░░░░ look did the president ░░░░░░░░ when he struck this ░░░░░░░░ did he know that ░░░░░░░░ Bergdahl was a potential ░░░░░░░░ Why did he have ░░░░░░░░ big ceremony in the ░░░░░░░░ Garden Why there was ░░░░░░░░ much pomping circumstance trying ░░░░░░░░ celebrate this man when ░░░░░░░░ a minimum he s ░░░░░░░░ very controversial figure PSAKI ░░░░░░░░ we are for not ░░░░░░░░ today and we certainly ░░░░░░░░ t prejudging almost a ░░░░░░░░ ago when this decision ░░░░░░░░ made and when St ░░░░░░░░ was brought home KELLY ░░░░░░░░ to those who wonder ░░░░░░░░ Susan Rice went out ░░░░░░░░ and told the world ░░░░░░░░ this man served with ░░░░░░░░ and distinction has now ░░░░░░░░ own army turns around ░░░░░░░░ says No you did ░░░░░░░░ sir You deserted the ░░░░░░░░ and women in uniform ░░░░░░░░ you deserted your platoon ░░░░░░░░ You say what Susan ░░░░░░░░ was wrong PSAKI Well ░░░░░░░░ would say Megyn that ░░░░░░░░ Army has taken steps ░░░░░░░░ their military process We ░░░░░░░░ t prejudge the outcome ░░░░░░░░ those steps KELLY Do ░░░░░░░░ think he served with ░░░░░░░░ and distinction Did Susan ░░░░░░░░ have it right PSAKI ░░░░░░░░ think that if we ░░░░░░░░ at St Bergdahl as ░░░░░░░░ who served his country ░░░░░░░░ many men and women ░░░░░░░░ it s been quite ░░░░░░░░ time since we brought ░░░░░░░░ home and there s ░░░░░░░░ some time for those ░░░░░░░░ the military justice system ░░░░░░░░ take a look at ░░░░░░░░ case and we will ░░░░░░░░ be the judge of ░░░░░░░░ once that decision is ░░░░░░░░
