Fox News reporter James Rosen claimed intelligence sources have told him not only that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl willingly collaborated with the Taliban, but that his involvement with the terrorist group may be “as serious as you can imagine.”
Rosen spoke with Bill O’Reilly Wednesday night about his ongoing conversations with intelligence and Pentagon officials regarding both old and new investigations into Bergdahl’s likely desertion and possibly treasonous activities.
“My reporting has shown that the intelligence community also undertook a separate [from the Army] investigation of Sgt. Bergdahl,” Rosen explained, “both his final period of active duty that culminated in that mysterious evening, and also his conduct over the past five years, which is said to have been a period of captivity.”
“Alright, now why would — you say the intelligence, I assume that’s defense intelligence, the CIA, all those people — why would they bother investigating a sergeant who was taken captive?” O’Reilly asked. “I mean, why would they spend those resources?”
“Well, with greatest proximity, because they were tasked with doing so,” Rosen responded cagily. “But my reporting on this is that there are many inside the intelligence community who harbor outstanding concerns not just that Sgt. Bergdahl may have been a deserter, but that he became an active collaborator with the enemy.”
The reporter reiterated information regarding Bergdahl’s emails, the packing up of his personal effects, his failure to take certain equipment with him before he left his post and “anecdotal evidence” from Taliban commanders — including how Bergdahl taught Islamist fighters how to reprogram a mobile phone into an IED.
“The last thing I will tell you is — I’m still working on this story, I’m talking to a broad range of sources in and out of the government, in and out of the military,” Rosen explained. “And all I will say is, there are many forms that active collaboration can take. I’m investigating claims that it could go as serious as you could imagine.”
“reprogram a mobile phone into an IED.”

Gee, I know that today’s phones are pretty smart, but programed to explode? I assume that he means programed to be a trigger for an IED.
>> Bergdahl taught Islamist fighters how to reprogram a mobile phone into an IED.
If that’s true....
a remote trigger. exactly
The most serious thing would be to take up arms against his fellow US soldiers. My question is why would he come back?
Because he was sure the Obama administration would welcome him back with open arms?
If all this is true he will be isolated from the media on the pretext of health issues, given another promotion and all his back pay, swing a sweet book deal, be feted on all the TV talk shows, and run for the Senate.
No problem, if you're Macgyver.
Why not make him the next Sergeant Major of the Army or put a gold bar on his shoulder? Or perhaps become a Muslim chaplain?
isnt it obvious ? being an America-hating islamic sympathizer he was willing to take one for the taliban team, if necessary, so their dream team of leaders could get back in the game and kill American troops again. they are going to be in Qatar for a year, but they are a little rusty so they need some time to work on being savages.
the obama gang never figured there would be the negative firestorm that has happened.
they calculated that obama and the bergdahls would get a ticker tape parade.
Fox News is...unimaginative...because “as serious as I can imagine” is the Taliban infecting Bergdahl with Ebola (2 to 21 day incubation period before symptoms begin showing) during which time he’s met with the President and many layers of the military and civilians in parades and the like to spread the virus.
Because the tailiband had already gotten what little usefulness out of him they could, and he had become nothing more than another mouth to feed and not even useable as cannon fodder since there was no way they would trust him with any type of weapon.
Trade him for some of their leaders and probably a substantial amount of bribes? Helluva deal for them.
“Gee, I know that today’s phones are pretty smart, but programed to explode? “
Coincidence that I was watching episode 8 of The Americans’ and that’s how one of the KGB guys hit one of the US scientists.
He and his homosexual spouse could be co-Sergeant Majors.
Yep.
Did he come back WILLINGLY?
Bergdahl told the Taliban that he could help them get 5 of their buddies sprung from Gitmo.
This just gets worse all the time. This is worthy of conviction in the Senate & even a criminal court.
