Documents Reveal Bergdahl Converted To Islam, But, Voluntarily?
Click here for reuse options!…Bergdahl at one point during his captivity converted to Islam, fraternized openly with his captors and declared himself a “mujahid,” or warrior for Islam, according to secret documents prepared on the basis of a purported eyewitness account and obtained by Fox News.
The reports indicate that Bergdahl’s relations with his Haqqani captors morphed over time, from periods of hostility, where he was treated very much like a hostage, to periods where, as one source told Fox News, “he became much more of an accepted fellow” than is popularly understood. He even reportedly was allowed to carry a gun at times.
The reports are rich in on-the-ground detail — including the names and locations of the Haqqani commanders who ran the 200-man rotation used to guard the Idaho native — and present the most detailed view yet of what Bergdahl’s life over the past five years has been like. These real-time dispatches were generated by the Eclipse Group, a shadowy private firm of former intelligence officers and operatives that has subcontracted with the Defense Department and prominent corporations to deliver granular intelligence on terrorist activities and other security-related topics, often from challenging environments in far-flung corners of the globe.

For those who read the Rolling Stone article by Michael Hastings (first published 2012), in letters to his family he is upset by the death of an Afghan child who was run over by a member of his unit. According to the story, Bergdahl was very upset that no action was taken against the driver and that the men in his unit were mocking the Afghans who mourned the child’s death. If true, I could see how that might encourage one to rethink the merits of the Christian religion of the perpetrators vs the Muslim religion of the victims. To be sure, I am not condoning his actions, but it’s always best to understand both sides before passing judgement.

Isn’t anyone asking how anyone can be embedded so thoroughly as to be able to get these so-called “rich in on-the-ground detail real-time dispatches”, then get the information out to the “shadowy private firm of former intelligence officers and operatives that has subcontracted with the Defense Department”?
If they were THAT close, why didn’t they help Bergdahl evade his captors the two times he tried to escape from the Taliban? And aren’t these dispatches in direct contradiction to the reports they made about those two escape attempts?

But the biggest question is why is the RW so intent on smearing this young man. Just what is getting covered up? Is this bigger than just Blacktracking Bowe to try and hurt Obama?
