This issue is not a Presidential 'doctrine'. This is not a political party 'doctrine'.
This issue is an AMerican Doctrine.
WE DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS.
'BLITZER: Could you imagine if you were president…and there were one American soldier who had been held for years and the demand was al Qaeda or some other terrorist group, “You got to free everyone at Guantanamo Bay” – several hundred prisoners at Guantanamo. Could you see yourself as president authorizing that kind of transfer'?
'CAIN: I could see myself authorizing that kind of transfer but what I would do is I would make sure that I got all of the information. I got all of the input, considered all of the options. And then, the president has to be the president and make a judgment call. I can make that call if I had to'.

There is no 'judgement call' to make. The United States DOES NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS!
