December Bergdahl Video Showed His Days Were Numbered
Click here for reuse options!A video produced by his captors months earlier had shown him weak and dazed, and there was a growing fear that the Taliban — frustrated by the glacial pace of hostage negotiations — were beginning to rethink the value of continuing to hold an American prisoner.
Officials from Qatar, who had long been the middlemen in the deliberations for a deal that would free Sergeant Bergdahl in exchange for five Taliban prisoners, were issuing warnings that the American prisoner’s days could be numbered, setting in motion a flurry of secret discussions on two continents about how to choreograph a battlefield exchange of prisoners…
The proof of Sergeant Bergdahl’s condition came…when the Taliban produced a short video clip of the soldier. In the video, believed to be shot sometime in December, Sergeant Bergdahl made references to recent events — including the death of former South African president Nelson Mandela — but he appeared sick and weak.

Funny how the RW trolls have to come to liberal web sites to get their info. Is that an admission the RW blogs have nothing to offer?

Perhaps they are not much for independent thought.

How long will it take Koch bros TPNation to learn Pashtun, or how to use Google? “About 12,600,000 results” for you, Grudge report, et al to research.
