KABUL -- The Taliban distributed a new video Friday of a U.S. soldier who was captured this summer in Afghanistan, with an offer to release him in a prisoner exchange.
A spokesman for the international forces here denounced the video, but declined to comment on the possibility of an exchange or on efforts to rescue the captive.
Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl, an airborne infantryman from Ketchum, Idaho, was seized by Taliban-aligned militants on June 30. The military says he is the only American soldier who has been captured by insurgent forces during the war here.

Dear God, I feel so terrible for his family. I pray we are able to bring this boy to freedom soon.
Indeed. Prayers for Pfc. Bowe R. Bergdahl.
This is the soldier who walked out of his base with his new “Afgan friends” after they had been drinking something I believe.
Wait, I thought it was against Geneva conventions to parade a captured soldier on video?
I’m sure Obama will soon negotiate with the terrorists and offer to hold PFC Bergdahl at Gitmo for them.
We’ll be praying. Obama is probably surfing.
Every hour he is not set free. Bomb a Mosque.
Bomb two. One in Afghanistan and one here.
OK Two. Hey how long would the terroism last??
Two days, three hours and 24 seconds.
Don’t ask me how I got that number. I used one of my global warming models and that is what it says.
