You say that but let's also not kid ourselves that you wouldn't have just as many saying similar things had it been a political, media or prominent figure on the opposite end of the political spectrum. People in general just have a difficult time seeing past their own ideology. His boss probably just sees her as someone who "hates America, so why would we want her back?" I quote because it's something I've heard as well.
Personally, I hope this experience gives her a greater appreciation for her country and I'm glad that it's finally over for her. But I also agree that who we gave up is extremely problematic. And if he goes back to what he was doing before, then I hope everyone really comprehends what that cost means.
