I was not judging his guilt, I don't know enough to pass judgement. I do think this was a political ploy on Obama's part though.

Your logic here is "Someone disappears from guard duty on a military base in a combat zone" and our response is "not our problem". Thankfully this is not how our military works.
What you don't seem to understand is that no matter what happened, this man was a liability. He had inside knowledge of security details, information about troop deployments, upcoming operations, and details on past operations - And we needed to prevent him from giving out any details.
My god.... When a criminal shoots and kills someone one we don't say "We aren't going to risk any officers trying to find him".
