Tuesday on NewsMax TV, former U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Oliver North said U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was not a prisoner of war because he was actually being held "hostage" by the Haqqanis, a terrorist group separate from the Taliban and associated heavily with al Qaeda.
North said he knew there was at least a $1 million dollar ransom being demanded for Bergdahl some time ago so he estimated the price paid to release the hostage must be close to $5-6 million now.
...more (w/audio)...

I think Obama just wanted an excuse to release the 5 taliban.
We KNOW there is more to the deal than just the exchange of five terrorists...
The original demand was 1 mill plus 21 terrorists. Congress said go to h——.
Think of the 5-6 million dollars as room and board for our lost soldier until someone could come and get him.
Obama really doesn’t care. He can do whatever the hell he wants.
Well....so far nobody has.
SECRET SERVICE SOFTWARE WILL 'DETECT SARCASM' IN SOCIAL MEDIA USERS
Yep ... that is usually the case.
I read that the WH apologized for not notifying Congress, saying it was an oversight. Isn't that what they said about outing the CIA Station Chief?
I cannot decide.
Is he is so far out of touch with reality he has no concept of the consequences of his actions.
Is it his desire to destroy all that is great about this nation
Is he someone’s idiot tool
Does he have a true Messiah Complex
I vote for all 5 reasons
5 talibunnies were released last fall as part of the deal.
$5-6million!
That’s a lot of chocolate cake
Yep
“I really don’t think Ollie would say it if he couldn’t back it up.”
Hmmm... don’t know about that, remember this is the man who accused President Reagan of lying when he was out promoting his book.
I’m starting to come to the conclussion that
the next scandal will be...
Obama will be flying Air Force One into the
White House screaming Ala Akbar (sorry for spelling).
Well we all know the meaning - Death to America.
It might help if you think that the Chinese paid the money on behalf of the Obamanists...
Well, it’s reasonable to think 0bama and Co. buzzed Manhattan in 2009.
Yes, somebody called Diane Feinstein and apologized.
Someone from the WH called DiFi. 0bama did not.
0bama doesn’t apologize for anything he does.
The case for money was made on FR yesterday on a thread title.
That case rang my bell then. More than prisoner swaps terrorists need money and have been openly seeking it.
Also deserter boy was never a high priority at the top of our government. Obama wanted Gitmo closed this bad? Yeah. Enough to return terrorists to the battle ground against American soldiers and our allies.
Millions of tax payer dollars at work spent to get it done. Obama is a tyrant aiding our enemy, and he is out of control of himself with power.
I expect him to announce that he is Muslim any day.
