A senior White House aide said Thursday he had seen “no evidence” to confirm a report that rescued Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl converted to Islam, fraternized with the Taliban, and declared jihad during nearly five years of captivity.
“We have seen no evidence of that,” deputy national security adviser Tony Blinken told CNN when asked about a Fox News report about Bergdahl’s conduct while imprisoned by the Taliban.

BINGO!
They have to reprogram him before he’s safe for public consumption
“This one will blow up in their faces...”
Taliban shooting range video to be released in 3..2..1..
0bama has already conducted his own investigation and he has made a determination that Bergdung is honorable and deserves praise.
All dissenters will be punished to the full extent of HIS law.
So we know what they have successfully removed from the classified reports.
I don’t think they will be able to reprogram him. They stopped waterboarding and after trading him for five of the most ruthless and blood thirsty terrorist since Bin Laden, they are not about to prosecute him for desertion or treason.
My guess is that they will keep him locked up in his own little Guananamo hospital room until they can sneak him back to Afghanistan to unite with his friends and family.
They are hoping this will blow over before Boehner accidentally grows a pair and appoints a select committee.
He gonna need Damblance!
Speak it loud and often until someone nationally starts making that point.
Even if Bergdahl is "weak" and "frail," why haven't we even heard a "thank you" from him through a spokeman?
Is it because if the Obama administration issues on one Bergdahl's behalf, the first thing he will do when he does get to speak is undermine it as still another Obama lie?

Just curious...
We're seeing all of the contemporaneous accounts from Bergdahl's squad mates, MSM reports from a few years ago from before any supposed "talking points" were crafted to meet Obama's needs today, behavior of the parents, behavior of the Taliban, behavior of the military investigative hierarchy then and now.
What does your 25 years of prosecutorial "hunch" suggest could go wrong on the other side, the side that suggests that everyone is wrong about Bergdahl and that he has a totally acceptable and plausible reason for his actions?
What are you waiting for that you feel is potentially so exculpatory that it overwhelms everything that we've seen so far?

About anything…About everything...THEY LIE!

Joe Wilson got the “you lie” right from the get go .... the unbelievable extent and depravity of the lies couldn’t be imagined at the time he said it, but the country is learning this the hard way. A lot of folks owe Mr. Wilson an apology.
Let’s take the current training about captivity that the US military teaches its members. It used to that we would reveal nothing to an enemy except name, rank, and serial number. Experience with cruel regimes taught our military that such a standard was unrealistic. So now they teach to do what you can to stay alive to fight another day, and if you have the opportunity, to do something odd/outofcharacter/secretivemessaging/etc, so that our people would know that circumstances prevent you from being direct.
I don’t see that in Bergdahl’s behavior. It certainly doesn’t mean taking up weapons on behalf of the enemy. That is odd, but not in the sense of “resistance”.
James Rosen says there was an escape attempt. Not only is that unconfirmed, but it doesn’t mean Bergdahl was trying to get back to the US even it is does turn out to be a fact.
Is it possible that Bergdahl had a full-fledged psychotic break? Sending his gear home seems to indicate otherwise.
Is this Stockholm syndrome? I don’t see that because Bergdahl wasn’t taken against his will. He went looking to get picked up by the Taliban.
So, we have a deserter who might not have liked the group he was with but who eventually came to accept it and joined with them.
I, too, won’t be surprised to see him back in Afghan quickly if he is not convicted at court martial and sentenced to additional jail time.
