2010 report says Bergdahl converted to Islam, taught bomb-making, according to Taliban captor
Mid East Faces ^ | June 2nd | Lisa Daftari

Posted on 06/02/2014 1:59:02 PM PDT by Fali_G

A 2010 report by the Daily Mail quoted a Taliban captor of Bowe Bergdahl, the American soldier released in a deal announced this weekend in exchange for five Guantanamo Bay detainees, stating Bergdahl converted to Islam and was teaching Taliban fighters bomb-making skills.

The report came after about one year that Bergdahl had deserted his post in June 2009 while based in eastern Afghanistan.

At least six American soldiers reportedly lost their lives in attempts to return Bergdahl to his unit.

The captor, who called himself Haji Nadeem, said Bergdahl taught basic ambush training as well as how to take apart a cell phone and convert it into a remote control for a roadside bomb, he told the Sunday Times.

It has not been confirmed whether Bergdahl converted and if so, whether it was voluntarily or under the pressure of authorities to prevent getting killed.

Doesn’t much matter now. He is Obama’s chosen. Obama just gave the libs a soldier to hide behind while they screen Republicans don’t care about the military.

The fact Bergdahl helped the Taliban probably makes Dear Leader smile.

I do not doubt for one second the traitor converted
BUT I do doubt he could teach the Taliban anything about making bombs

Bergdahl is a traitor and Obama is the Arch-Traitor.

Bergdahl may have helped the monsters who murdered the brave servicement trying to locate him.

He is reported by fellow infantrymen to have walked away from his post. Now it is reported he taught others how to fabricate IEDs against his fellow infantrymen.

If for no other reason, he should be confined in solitary to avoid others from murdering him.

His father’s extremist emails only nail the lid on his coffin.

Those who fail to act on these reported traitorous acts now become accessories after the fact. Maybe Obama and his Administration can now be charged as accessories to treason.

Even Hillary could level the charge and not be held politically accountable. She would probably even win some conservative votes.

So we give up five top-Taliban commanders and get a sleeper agent in return?

This deal just keeps getting better and better.

The CIA investigated his “disappearance” and have a classified file on him. I would really like to know what is in that file.

Actually it does matter....now. Court martial is appropriate to determine his guilt or innocence. Aid and comfort to the enemy would be treason in the time of war and death sentence is possible. Also, if he deserted he may have forfeited his pay.

I hope they shave him of his Islamic beard as soon as possible. It looks terrible.

You are correct
and this
‘Bergdahl may have helped the monsters who murdered the brave servicemen trying to locate him.’

is something I did not think of but sickingly you are likely correct.

What intrigues me is that the father’s extremist emails have basically destroyed his son - whether this guy goes home to Idaho or goes to Leavenworth. There is some sick family dynamic going on here. Akin to some of our sick families who produce mass killers. It’s almost as if we’ve been let into the living room of these weirdo families.

Bergdahl may as well have deliberately set out to use himself as bait to draw his rescuers into Taliban traps.

Let us not forget the huge expense in blood, treasure and good will lost in the effort to recover this ...this... [words fail me]

Hagel is also a traitor. A true Viet Nam veteran.
