Weinstein Fam in 2014 Blasted Obama for Not Including Warren in Bergdahl Swap
‘It would have been nice if they traded five prisoners for five hostages’
In a 2014 interview with CBS Baltimore’s Vic Carter, the family of Warren Weinstein took umbrage that the White House traded just one hostage for five Gitmo detainees.
“When I thought about it, I was crushed. Because it would have been nice if they traded five prisoners for five hostages,” Warren's wife, Elaine Weinstein, said.
“If they were going to make a deal, it should have been for all the Americans in that area to be brought home,” said Warren’s daughter, Jennifer Coakley.
Today the president announced the U.S. killed Warren Weinstein when a counterterrorism effort went awry.
