Juan Williams defended the administration's decision to swap the Gitmo 5 for Bowe Bergdahl. 

"The clear principle is we don't leave soldiers behind. And at the moment, I think what's necessary here, I'm reminded this sunday morning of the story of the prodigal son. You don't make judgments as you have the opportunity to bring that child back. America should be loving this child at this moment. Obviously we don't know why he left. We think he's a troubled person. We think he may have lost a sense of America's mission. All true. But the idea is we don't leave people in the enemy's hands. The enemy saw him as an American soldier. That young man suffered; he was caged, Chris. His parents suffered."
