Bergdahl Dad’s Deleted Tweet: ‘I Am Still Working To Free All Guantanamo Prisoners’

Bob Bergdahl’s Tweet made sense, in that his experience with his son has him questioning why prisoners are being held with no due process. The question is why he deleted a Tweet signaling his activism on that score.

“No family in the United States understands the detainee issue like ours,” Robert Bergdahl said in a 2011 plea to his son’s captors.

So it wasn’t entirely unusual when Bergdahl apparently published a tweet last week about Guantanamo’s detainees. Except this tweet was directed at a Taliban spokesman. And it came just four days before it was announced that his son was finally being released.

 

Bob Bergdahl has become an advocate for the release of political prisoners worldwide.

In addition to calling for the release of Guantanamo detainees, Bergdahl also tweeted in solidarity with a a host of prisoners elsewhere, including abducted journalist James Foley, who was detained in Syria; Saeed Abedini, an American Christian pastor jailed in Iran; and Kenneth Bae, an American jailed in North Korea.
