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.

If they didn’t examine his rectum they may never know....
Probably the first thing he offered as proof of his desire to serve...
Where did he get the money to go to France? Are there any Muslims in France?? ;-)
Yuck.
I’m drinking an American Drink right now, with Lemon.
Diet Coke and a slice of lemon...
There’s a bunch of soldiers who are revealing facts. And there’s plenty of facts in his emails.
because the only thing he was good at, besides being a wretch, is wretching in volumes?
There was criteria that he couldn’t meet. It was pretty simple stuff. So I think the trip was a “door” to the Taliban.
I hear there is an expected surge in the sale of swampland very soon.
Not tortured enough.
Deserter is still alive.
We want all the details from him and only him. Remenber when “They”told us the private Lynch (woman) was a “heroin” in Iraq? “She fought them off for hours before capture”. Total lie.
"He was absolutely devastated when the French Foreign Legion didn't take him," Bob says. "They just didn't want an American home-schooled in Idaho. They just said no way."
Yeah, the Foreign Legion happily accepted former SS troops, but no way to home-schooled Americans from Idaho.
At a minimum, I'm sure he was a$$ raped numerous times. But frankly, I'm surprised that he wasn't the star of one of those Taliban special beheading home movies. The anger here comes from the fact that these stories are being spun by a compliant media to provide cover for the Mufti-in-Chief by portraying Bergdahl as a victim, when he brought his misfortunes entirely upon himself by an act of desertion and probably collaboration.
They probably made him listen to middle eastern music.
The only things I’ll believe regarding this guy are things said by his platoon mates.
I’m curious: what language are they using to communicate with him?
Remember: he “doesn’t remember how to speak English”!
“Does anyone think he wasnt tortured?”
Define “torture.” While you’re at it, define “cage,” as it applies to this guy.
Define the following list of words and phrases:
Honor, distinction, desertion, hero, captivity, convert to Islam, Stockholm Syndrome, treason.
The Left will have a field day helping us define these terms in a way useful to them, Clintonizing and parsing and re-framing every last one of them.
“after he tried to escape”
The key words here....not like he was captured and tortured. So after he realized he made a big mistake he tried to escape and hense his value to his “captors” was reduced.
I’m sure he was tortured. As was said above, he’s lucky he still has his head. But the REAL torture will begin when he stands before the Lord, and standing beside God will be at least six real heroes waiting for an explanation. My faith says I must pray for and forgive him. I hope he repents before his judgement.
Now we know why he is not allowed/does not want to speak to his family on the phone yet.....they have to get him on board with the phony ass story they are concocting to cover Obama and this deserting asshole.
Doctors say.bowe is physically able to travel.
I thought rice said he was at death’s door.
And beaten with the Comfy Pillows.
And it was administered by a Special Taliban Torture Squad, who laughed with diabolical laughter...
