It was interesting that Taliban Daddy was very specific about people sent to Germany when al-Bergdal is being physically checked out. Sounds like Papa sent a bunch of ACLU lawyer types.

Very good article Kristinn, thank you for sharing it.

I’m so sickened that 5 major terrorism figures were released for this loser that I can barely see straight anymore.

I don’t believe any of them will live in Qatar for a year as specified and even if they did, that doesn’t mean they aren’t involved in terrorist activities.

As for Bergdahl, I really don’t care what happened to him. He walked away so whatever he got, he deserved. I doubt he’ll be tried for desertion because of the loser in chief we have.

I am so outraged over this, I am at a loss of words to express it. The ONLY scenario that I can come up with on this is that Obama took personal offense because Karzai did not come to meet him at Baghram, so he released some prisoners from Gitmo that would make Karzai’s life hell. Yes, he really is that petty.

His fellow men in uniform had to sign nondisclosure agreements, per the article! Is this normal for situations like this?

Has Bergdahl’s father expressed any regrets about the heroes killed in search of son? Or has the father limited his concern to the well-being and freedom of the terrorists at Gitmo?

How about this — court marshall the puke and put in a Gitmo Cell for ten more years.

Brutally frank article.

Article by Jake Tapper. So much for the Obama's administration claim of "transparency" in its affairs:

Many of Bergdahl's fellow troops ... told CNN that they signed nondisclosure agreements agreeing to never share any information about Bergdahl's disappearance and the efforts to recapture him. Some were willing to dismiss that document in hopes that the truth would come out about a soldier who they now fear is being hailed as a hero, while the men who lost their lives looking for him are ignored.

How typical of this administration. Everything “will be dealt with later”.

I don’t believe anything that comes from the Obama administration or their steno pool (MSM). Why did the members of his unit need to sign a non disclosure statement? If they did, it was probably under duress - punishment by the Obama gang - similar to the Benghazi people. What are the Obama’s thugs hiding? Where is the independent media?

I’m angry but not surprised. This is just the sort of thing we’ve come to expect from this administration.

I heard Jake Tapper was reaching out to some of the guys in Bergdahl’s unit. I guess he’s turning honest.

One almost wonders if this was the plan all along for this kid and his activist parents: go native, be a “hostage” and get traded. I bet it took longer than they thought, though, and I wonder if the Afhanis were as lovely a bunch as the kid thought they would be.

From a commenter on this blog:
I WAS THERE. I'm sick of all the lies. Here is the TRUTH, from someone on the ground. We were at OP Mest, Paktika Province, Afghanistan. It was a small outpost where B Co 1-501st INF (Airbone) ran operations out of, just an Infantry platoon and ANA counterparts there. The place was an Afghan graveyard. Bergdahl had been acting a little strange, telling people he wanted to "walk the earth" and kept a little journal talking about how he was meant for better things. No one thought anything about it. He was a little “out there”. Next morning he's gone. We search everywhere, and can't find him. He left his weapon, his kit, and other sensitive items. He only took some water, a compass and a knife. We find some afghan kids shortly after who saw an american walking north asking about where the taliban are. We get hits on our voice intercepter that Taliban has him, and we were close. We come to realize that the kid deserted his post, snuck out of camp and sought out Taliban… to join them. We were in a defensive position at OP Mest, where your focus is to keep people out. He knew where the blind spots were to slip out and that's what he did. It was supposed to be a 4-day mission but turned into several months of active searching. Everyone was spun up to find this guy. News outlets all over the country were putting out false information. It was hard to see, especially when we knew the truth about what happened and we lost good men trying to find him. PFC Matthew Michael Martinek, Staff Sgt. Kurt Robert Curtiss, SSG Clayton Bowen, PFC Morris Walker, SSG Michael Murphrey, 2LT Darryn Andrews, were all KIA from our unit who died looking for Bergdahl. Many others from various units were wounded or killed while actively looking for Bergdahl. Fighting Increased. IEDs and enemy ambushes increased. The Taliban knew that we were looking for him in high numbers and our movements were predictable. Because of Bergdahl, more men were out in danger, and more attacks on friendly camps and positions were conducted while we were out looking for him. His actions impacted the region more than anyone wants to admit. There is also no way to know what he told the Taliban: Our movements, locations, tactics, weak points on vehicles and other things for the enemy to exploit are just a few possibilities. The Government knows full well that he deserted. It looks bad and is a good propaganda piece for the Taliban. They refuse to acknowledge it. Hell they even promoted him to Sergeant which makes me sick. I feel for his family who only want their son/brother back. They don’t know the truth, or refuse to acknowledge it as well. What he did affected his family and his whole town back home, who don’t know the truth. Either way what matters is that good men died because of him. He has been lying on all those Taliban videos about everything since his “capture”. If he ever returns, he should be tried under the UCMJ for being a deserter and judged for what he did. Bergdahl is not a hero, he is not a soldier or an Infantryman. He failed his brothers. Now, sons and daughters are growing up without their fathers who died for him and he will have to face that truth someday.

“...Many of Bergdahl’s fellow troops — from the seven or so who knew him best in his squad, to the larger group that comprised the 1st Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division — told CNN that they signed nondisclosure agreements agreeing to never share any information about Bergdahl’s disappearance and the efforts to recapture him....”
*******************************************************************

This is the same silencing protocol that the demonic Obama administration (and their subservient political generals in the military) have been following in Benghazi. I wonder if Bergdahl is being interrogated in Germany or is being given his “cover story” by the Obama Regime’s operatives?

Does this approach ring a bell with anyone else?
