The Taliban Have Released A Photo Of A Smiling Bowe Bergdahl When He Was In Captivity


Photo Of Smiling Bowe Bergdahl Posing With Taliban Official Surfaces On Twitter -- FOX News

The Middle East Research Institute (MEMRI) has identified a photo tweeted out by the Taliban that shows Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl posing with a senior member of the Haqqani network in Afghanistan.

MEMRI, a think tank, said the Twitter account @khorasan3, which is associated with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, showed an undated photo Wednesday of an apparently happy Bergdahl posing with Taliban Commander Badruddin Haqqani.

Haqquami, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in August 2012, was the son of Haqqani head Jalaluddin Haqqani. It was not immediately clear when the photo with Bergdaal was taken.

Update: Bergdahl smiles in ‘captivity’ pic -- New York Post

My Comment: I am sure that there are a lot more pictures out there. Bowe Bergdahl was their only "American POW" .... they probably knew his propaganda value on day one.

Sure there are pictures of Bergdahl.

Bergdahl also grew up on anti-American B.S. fed by his hippie-like parents.

He is guilty of desertion and deserves a big chicken dinner (BCD: bad conduct discharge).

But the rest could be naivety due to upbringing and subsequent Stockholm syndrome. I could see Bergdahl being good with being with the Taliban for a few days or week until he figured out that he was not free to go and then reality sunk in

I don't think that collaboration can be proved. Some of the Haqqani are now room temperature. The chances of getting Haqqani to testify in court are nil. I can't see the Obama administration allowing elint that might harm Bergdahl to be allowed in a military court. If it was proven that Obama traded 5 Taliban for a known traitor (as judged by a military court), the political fallout would be great.

He is a deserter and most of the country knows it. The administration would be in the position of proving otherwise, very bad politically. I think looking at the photo it's already dawned on him that he's in deep sh-t, he looks scared. Oh yeah, look at Haqqani's left hand over Bergdahl's shoulder. Shooting a little bird there the smirking SOB.
