@blakehounshell veteran commanders. Not a dime a dozen. (not my opinion, just saying) cc @EliLake

@justinjm1 @elilake Eh. They have been off the battlefield for years; surely plenty of veteran commanders out there.

@blakehounshell @justinjm1 I have that point in the piece. In 2012 Panetta and Clapper thought it was too risky to release them.

@EliLake @justinjm1 and what about the ninja thing, Eli?

@blakehounshell @justinjm1 The Taliban seemed to think these guys getting out of Gitmo was a big deal.

@blakehounshell is yes to one sufficient or must they be supernatural ninjas to be alarming?

@MZHemingway Not true that the administration has been "desperate" for talks.

@blakehounshell @MZHemingway reporter? DNC spokesman? Hard to tell.

.@sbprice There is no difference. Most "journolists" are just DEM operatives with by-lines. #CorruptProfession @blakehounshell @MZHemingway
