Nah I didn't purposely Omit anything :mrgreen: .....the point was the Pentagon conducted the investigation in 2010. Nor was the point on what their conclusion was. Other than Bergdahl left his unit. Also Note those references at the Bottom of the page. I did say Wikipedia. Which also shows the dates when the videos come out and when BO started negotiating with the Taliban in and going back to 2009. Wherein The Taliban wanted 21 released and a million dollars. You didn't want to say the Repubs were in on any contact did you? Maybe Hagel, huh? :lol:
Contacts by Taliban
On July 18, 2009, the Taliban released a video showing the captured Bergdahl.....snip~
In December 2009, five months after Bergdahl's disappearance, the media arm of the Taliban released a video of "a U.S. soldier captured in Afghanistan" titled "One of Their People Testified". The Taliban did not name the American, but the only U.S. soldier known to be in captivity was Bergdahl. U.S. military officials had been searching for Bergdahl, but it was not publicly known whether he was being held in Afghanistan or in neighboring Pakistan, an area off-limits to U.S. forces based in Afghanistan.[42]
On December 25, another video was released showing Bergdahl in a combat uniform and helmet.[43][44][45] He described his place of birth, deployment to Afghanistan and subsequent capture, and made several statements regarding his humane treatment by his captors, contrasting this to the abuses suffered by insurgents in prisons. He finished by saying that the United States should not be involved in Afghanistan and that its presence there is akin to the Vietnam War.
The Taliban originally demanded $1 million[46] and the release of 21 Afghan prisoners and Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani scientist convicted in a U.S. court on charges of attempted murder of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. Most of the Afghan prisoners sought were being held at Guantanamo Bay.[47][48] The Taliban later reduced its demand to six Taliban prisoners in exchange for Bergdahl's release.[49]
After Taliban commander Awal Gul died of a heart attack on February 2, 2011, the demand was reduced to five Taliban prisoners.[50].....snip~
