President Barack Obama apparently traded five jailed jihadis held in Guantanamo for one American soldier, despite federal law, which requires Congress to be notified before prisoners are transferred.
Obama used a Rose Garden press event to tout the surprise trade — which he won by making critical, last-minute concessions — while the parents of the freed soldier, Bowe Bergdahl, stood alongside.
At the end of brief event, the soldier’s father, Bob Bergdahl, recited the most frequent phrase in the Koran — “Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim” —which means “In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Compassionate.”

After Bergdahl finished his statement and his praise for Allah, Obama hugged him.

Taliban claim captured U.S. solider has converted to Islam and is teaching its fighters bomb-making skills

USA Today: Many called Bergdahl a traitor or a deserter. Stephen Kirouac, calling Bergdahl a “dirtbag” and “sympathizer,” was among many who seized on that speculation to criticize the rescued soldier.

I wonder if she has ever correctly used the word "intermediary".

Oh wait a minute. I thought you said President.

Nevermind.

Reagan claimed to have no knowledge of that, but you have no problem with Obama not knowing SHIT about any of the myriad of scandals that have plagued HIS administration, right?

Unfortunately, that's the view from the partisan crowd - whichever party you back can't do anything wrong, because likely the other party did something similarly wrong before so they balance each other out. Kind of ignores the general question of whether something done was right or wrong, but partisans tend not to be bothered with details like that.

Officer: Soldiers Were “Threatened” If They Questioned Story of Bergdahl’s Capture, Forced To Sign Non-Disclosure Agreements…

Via Charlie Spiering:

A former U.S. officer who served in Afghanistan with Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl claims that soldiers were threatened by U.S. authorities if they questioned his story.

After he was captured, Bergdahl said on a video from his captors that he lagged behind on patrol, although other sources in the military suggested anonymously that he walked away from his post.

“Not only has this nebulous non-story been put out for years but you know these soldiers of 4th Brigade 25th Infantry Division were threatened with legal repercussions if they spoke about Bergdahl. Everybody officially mandated silencing of what we saw has been so frustrating,” Bethea explained on BBC World Service Radio today.

Bethea served in Sgt. Bergdahl’s unit, and was an infantry officer in the U.S. Army from 2007 to 2014
CNN’s Jake Tapper also reported that many of Bergdahl’s fellow troops signed nondisclosure agreements agreeing to never share any information about Bergdahl’s disappearance and the efforts to recapture him. http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/01/us/bergda ... r-or-hero/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


Bethea explained that now he was safe, more soldiers would be trying to tell the truth of his disappearance.
