I don’t know what to think. Another part of Wikileaks has Bergdahl with a camera looking for someone who speaks English.
If the first deal offered of 15 Taliban plus cash for an exchange that included the top 5 who were released, then that deal was obviously worse. It sounds, though, like the Taliban wanted to deal from the get-go. An important point from Wikileaks is the information about Bergdahl being on the toilet when captured in an attack on the camp. I don’t believe I saw any information about an attack on the camp. Could he have been captured before they carried out the attack? His prior comments and actions indicate a mindset of desertion. With this administration, the facts may never come to light.
