KABUL (Reuters) – The U.S. military denounced on Sunday the release of a video showing a soldier captured in Afghanistan, describing the images as Taliban propaganda that violated international law.

The video shows Private Bowe Bergdahl in traditional Afghan dress, being prompted in English by his captors to call for U.S. forces to be withdrawn from Afghanistan.

"We condemn the use of this video and the public humiliation of prisoners. It is against international law," U.S. military spokesman Colonel Greg Julian said.

It's a good thing the CiC insisted on changing our tactics with detainees. Now that we're setting such a good example for the rest of the world, the Taliban will feel really bad about this.

Yet another reason for 0 to be “deeply concerned.”

I don’t think that the Taliban takes the US very seriously anymore. We’re all “nice people” now. Europe, especially France, loves us!

Underwear! At least they haven't put any underwear on the prisoner's head!

Below is a comment posted below an article in UK "Times":

I hope Bowe has a "goolie chit." Captured British airmen in the area pre-WW2 were liable to be handed over to tribal women for castration. They were provided with a "goolie chit" in several local languages promising significant rewards if they were returned entire.

Homie the clown has been on TV 1000x but the cat must have his tongue becuase he has not offered any direction in reference to this soldier.

Has he even mentioned him?

A phony response from the phony current squatter soiling the Whitehouse.

He has turned into the joke know around the world, not to be believed, trusted or listened to by any world leader.
