(CRIMINAL EVENT) KIDNAPPING RPT B CO 1-501 PIR : 0 INJ/DAM
This apparently was one of the documents compliments of Bradly Manning's leaking. The timeline fits.
Assigned in 2009 to an Army unit in Iraq as an intelligence analyst, Manning had access to classified databases. In early 2010 she leaked classified information to WikiLeaks and confided this to Adrian Lamo, an online acquaintance. Lamo informed Army Counterintelligence, and Manning was arrested in May that same year. The material included videos of the July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike, and the 2009 Granai airstrike in Afghanistan; 250,000 U.S. diplomatic cables; and 500,000 Army reports that came to be known as the Iraq War logs and Afghan War logs. Much of the material was published by WikiLeaks or its media partners between April and November 2010.[7]

// Bad guy #1: Yes, we have a lot of IED on the road. //
Nice breakdown. And that’s how bergdahl endangers everyone, immediately and long term.
I thought the capture claim was realistic (”he was taking a expletive” and something like “he didn’t get to wipe yet”) - bergdahl was clearly not very smart on things.
There wouldn’t be a “latrine” outside the U.S. camp would there? You think that was mis-interpreted and he was just in the weeds taking his sh**?
Yes... and... tell us more....
Someone please educate me on how PVT Bergdahl, who the most knowledgeable sources say deserted, was promoted to SGT?!?!
Claims of no discipline??? I missed that. Jesus, how low will they sink?
He was promoted from PFC to SGT while in captivity.
I’m posting from a tablet. If you download the pdf and read about page six they talk about the Taliban demanding 15 of their guys to get Bergdahl back.
From the .pdf:

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
WOW! So no one was asking for 5 top 'Generals' from GITMO? They just wanted some cash and maybe 15 ordinary POWs? This really is interesting...
Great find mazda77, thanks. Fascinating seeing all the time lines laid out like that and who was doing what when.
That’s how I took it.
He was off the base without his gun, having gone AWOL, and was apparently in lala land. The look on his face as he said something like “But... but ... I’m one of the GOOD guys! (Sputter)” woulda been priceless.
Idjit.
I don't think you can read it that way. Why are the 15 "ordinary POWs"? (My position is that the U.S. holds no POWs -- only illegal combatants, but we'll leave that be for a moment.) Is it possible -- just possible -- that the bad guys were thinking of the 5 top "generals" in addition to 10 other Taliban members and cash? If so, perhaps the Taliban didn't come close to their original offer.
Bergdahl ping.
This is evidence that Oliver North is flat out wrong when he said the kidnappers were only interested in money and not an exchange of terrorists for Bergdahl.
"They never once mentioned in all of the dialogue that occurred trying to get him back earlier, that they wanted anything but money. So somehow, this administration concocted the release of five very senior, very brutal terrorists."
Your version is certainly plausible. Perhaps the U.S. Army simply misinterpreted the intercepted communication. My first thought, though, was that these particular Taliban members / sympathizers didn't know exactly what happened and were making stuff up.
Then you would agree that the charge that he was “kidnapped while sitting on a latrine” would be and error? I figure the gov will try and use this as evidence he didn’t go AWOL but was taken against his will.
