James Rosen - A senior official confirms to Fox News that the conduct of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl both in his final stretch of active duty in Afghanistan and then, too, during his time when he lived among the Taliban has been thoroughly investigated by the U.S. intelligence community and is the subject of a major classified file.
In conveying as much, the Defense Department source confirmed to Fox News that many within the intelligence community harbor serious outstanding concerns not only that Bergdahl may have been a deserter but that he may have been an active collaborator with the enemy.
The Pentagon official added pointedly that no relevant congressional committee has sought access to the classified file, but that if such a request were made, key committee chairs would, under previous precedent, likely be granted access to it. Separately, the Pentagon confirmed Monday that it is looking into claims Americans died during the search for Bergdahl.

Win/win in Obama's satanic view.
Obama acted illegally. He wasn't willing to wait 30 days or allow the trade to be debated. That's odd.
There's more to this than meets the eye. Someone put pressure on Obama - lots of pressure. The terrorists had something - on democrats? Or Obama? Maybe information on Benghazi... or worse?
Yes. There was a reason the CIA guy was outted. There was a reason hussein had to make a super duper secret trip over there. There was a reason hussein gave Carney that extra special hug and kiss. There’s a reason Putin and the rest of the world have been laughing at us since Nov. 2008.
NO BIG DEAL (/SARC)----DID YOU KNOW? Within hours of the Boston Marathon blasts, US government officials, and Muslims, in Boston called each other to offer assistance......just in case THE MUZZIES suffered backlash or threats.
REFERENCE Federal outreach to Muslim American communities is a pillar of Obama counter-terrorism strategy

Within hours of the Boston Marathon blasts, government officials and Muslims in Boston called each other to offer assistance. These calls were the fruits of years of cultivating such relationships in an effort to ultimately prevent the very type of attack Boston experienced April 15....
Representatives from the US Departments of Justice and Homeland Security called to offer support to Muslim communities......just in case THEY suffered backlash or threats. (more on FR).
===================================================
BACKSTORY: Boston Bomber brother Tamerlan worshipped at Islamic Society of Boston's mosque---built w/ strongarm sap-happy Democrat Boston Mayor Menino's govt authority. The Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC) near the intersection of Tremont Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard.....better known as the Roxbury mosque, has been in the works for more than 20 years.....it finally opened its doors for prayer five years late, millions over budget, and still far from complete.
While the story of the building of the Roxbury mosque may not be worthy of a Hollywood epic, it does contain the stuff of a good television drama: (with Mayor Menino aiding and abetting) community intrigue, religious conflict, media controversy, foreign money, suspicions of extremist ties......and once-cocksure public officials, who (like Menino and then-Sen Kerry who once gave Islamics serial BJ's) have since retreated into a zone of silence.
Pretty soon they'll start whining about building a mosque close to the Boston Marathon finish line b/c Islam is all about "triumphalism" (thus the plans to build a mosque near the WTC).
And you can bet they'll get lotsa help from Democrat Obomba, Democrat Boston Mayor Menino, Democrat Secy of State Kerry, and Democrat Gov Deval Patrick----who obstructed the public's right to know---Deval ordered govt agencies not to disseminate the Tsarnaev family's hefty welfare $$haul.
STATE LEGISLATOR DEMANDED DOCUMENTS Sources who have seen the 500 pages of documents sent to the House Committee on Post Audit and Oversight told News Center 5 that the entire Tsarnaev family, including (1) the two bombing suspects' parents, (2) the two suspects themselves, (3) their sisters, (4) the widow of the suspect killed, and, (5) their child -- received "every conceivable public benefit available out there."

And wasn't it cute that the Tsarneav's buddies----"innocent" 19 y/o Kazakhstan student let into the US w/out a student visa, knew to take a jar of vaseline from Tsarneav's room---b/c it was a bomb component? Were they ever charged?
=====================================================
Kerry's "credentials," presented to Ohaha when the Secy of State job became available.
Major Classified File
Is that also where Obama’s BC is filed?
Hopefully that CIA chief has recorded all he knows somewhere.
We are trying to make something too big out of this whole thing. The simple fact is that obama released not 4, but 5 Taliban. On purpose.
These are very serious charges and shouldn’t be made lightly. I don’t know enough about this case or military life to make an informed opinion. I’m glad that he’s been released, but have major qualms about how it was achieved.
Ping to 17, now we know why the CIA chief was outed, I am sure he protested yo this release and the ONE didn’t like it.
Re. post #17.
Mullah Mohammad Fazl was a senior commander in the Taliban army in the 1990s, rising to become its chief of staff. He is thought by many to have supervised the killing of thousands of Shiite Muslims near Kabul between 1998 and 2001. According to WikiLeaks documents, he was also present at the 2001 prison riot that killed CIA operative Johnny Micheal Spann, the first U.S. citizen killed in the Afghan war.

FLASHBACK:
Posted at 10:20 AM ET, 11/23/2011
Intel community marks a decade since the death of Mike Spann, first CIA officer killed in Afghanistan
(snip)
CIA paramilitary officer Johnny Micheal Spann, 32, was killed in a violent uprising at a prison in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan, where he was interrogating detainees captured during the early weeks of the war.
(snip)
Spanns wife, Shannon, has since left the CIA. Another CIA officer who was working alongside Spann in the Mazar-e-Sharif prison survived the uprising and is still an employee of the CIA, officials said.
As part of the negotiations, the Taliban have long identified five prisoners being held at Guantanamo Bay who should be transferred as a confidence building measure.
They include Mohammad Fazl, the former Taliban deputy defense minister; Noorullah Nori, the former Taliban governor of Balkh; Khairullah Khairkhwa, the former Taliban governor of Herat; Abdul Haq Wasiq, the former Taliban deputy intelligence chief; and Mohammad Nabi, who helped run the Talibans finances through the informal hawala system.
A senior administration official confirmed the names, and said they have been identified by the Taliban as far back as 2005.
But any transfer or release is politically perilous in Washington. Congressional leaders briefed on the names have raised strong objections. Fazl, especially, could prove problematic for the White House if he is ever transferred to Afghan custody because of his record on human rights and his participation in a riot that killed CIA officer Johnny Michael Spann. He could also stoke ethnic tensions with Afghan officials from northern Afghanistan, with whom Fazl fought before 9/11.
Fazl is the most senior of the five and was a close friend of Mullah Omar. In 1999, Omar put him in charge of the Taliban Army in northern Afghanistan, replacing a far more popular and far more brutal commander, Dadullah, according to former Taliban officials. Fazl quickly became known as a good leader who respected his commanders.
The men he led have been accused of helping kill hundreds if not thousands of Shiites as part of a Taliban campaign against them. For that, he is listed on the UNs Taliban sanctions list.
When asked about the murders, [Fazl] and [Noori] did not express any regret and stated they did what they needed to do in their struggle to establish their ideal state, reads a Feb. 2008 Guantanamo assessment of Fazl that was released by Wikileaks. [Fazl] had operational associations with significant al-Qaida and other extremist personnel If released, [Fazl] would likely rejoin the Taliban and establish ties with anti-Coalition militias participating in hostilities against US and Coalition forces in Afghanistan.
In part, the Taliban see the transfer of these men as a form of payback for what they believe are promises broken by northern Afghan commanders in November, 2001. Former Taliban officials say that Fazl, Noori, and Khairkhwa all surrendered themselves to Gens. Daud Daud and Abdul Rashid Dostum, who were allied with the CIA only after receiving a promise they wouldnt be turned over to the U.S.
The prisoners then revolted against their jailers, and Spann was caught in the middle and killed. There is no evidence that any of the five detainees had any direct hand in Spanns death. But after the revolt, the detainees were handed over to the U.S. and quickly became some of the first prisoners to arrive at Guantanamo.
Still bothered that the 2012 article in Rolling Stone about what was going on was written by Michael Hastings Wasn’t he working on a CIA story ? Do the dots connect? What does BB know?
Hastings article was NOT very flattering to military-Obama s command
I agree totally, and it's not the first time- (I will have more flexibility....................) Buckwheat (Imam-In-Chief Barak Hussein Obama) may have finally screwed the pooch on this one. GOPe to the rescue! Undelay!
