U.S. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has told people treating him at an American military medical facility in Germany that he was tortured, beaten and held in a cage by his Taliban captors in Afghanistan after he tried to escape, a senior U.S. official said Sunday.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss what Bergdahl has revealed about the conditions of his captivity. The New York Times first reported on the matter.
The official said it was difficult to verify the accounts Bergdahl has given since his release a week ago.

Military doctors at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center say that while Bergdahl is physically able to travel he's not yet emotionally prepared to be reunited with his family. He has not yet spoken to his family.

Like great granny used to say.
If you go looking for trouble, you’ll usually find it.
Fire up The Narrative!
This is one leaker that has nothing to fear.
Then he speaks English?
I heard some stories saying his English speaking ability had deteriorated during his five years away. But apparently he can communicate to us.
One of the Regime's Dudes, no doubt....
The carefully leaked story heralds
that any real investigation is over.
The fix is in. => al Qaeda inside
NYT? They made that up.
This guy is so delusional that he probably figured the Talban would allow him to wander around like the U.S. Army did!
From what I surmised and the message that should be out there is that Bergdahl could have walked away from he Taliban at any time.
taquia
He should not have deserted. I also find it interesting that this is leaked after we supposedly heard from a shadowy type group that he was kept in a cage and such.
I think perhaps a narrative has been cooked up by the government.
We really have no rel way to know the truth when he was with these terrorists.
Get into bed with wolves, wake up with fleas.
In other words, his liberal-hippie parents brainwashed him for years about the noble savage and our complicity in his oppression, but now he's met the underdog personally and he's realized his parents set him up for a really bad fall for their own political ends.
He was tortured?
How?
They wouldn’t let him watch Internet Porn?
Gimme a break....
Effing loser...
That is exactly what I thought would be the perfect defense for Dr. Baltar during his trial on Battlestar Galactica.
From the looks of his unkempt-looking parents, I'm pretty sure they are quite familiar with having fleas.
They both look like they smell like a goat.
Not enough imo
He violated his oath.
How can we trust anything Bergdahl says, ever?
