(7.6.2012) Some top-level officials within the administration, including Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, are very wary about making a swap for Bowe. „Panetta and Hillary don‘t give a shit about getting him home,“ says one senior U.S. official involved in the negotiations. „They want to be able to say they COINed their way out of Afghanistan, or whatever, so it doesn‘t look like they are cutting and running.“ (Both Clinton and Panetta, by law, would have to sign off on any exchange.) As with Vietnam, many in the military are resisting any attempt to end the war.
