#1 Yet another twist; COL(Ret) Hunt said tonight on Fox that intelligence collection had revealed conversations on Bergdahl's cellie by Taliban, and another cellie used by the Taliban that Bergdahl had in fact defected to the Taliban. Hunt indicated these reports had not been part of the official Army investigation.

#2 Confirmed - Col. Hunt came onto Howie Carr's show during the 4:00 PM segment yesterday saying just that, before he went on O'Reilly a few hours later.

#4 I'd still like to read the initial Serious Incident Report (SIR) dealing with this soldier's disappearance. Please attach to it as well, the initial AR 15-6, and sworn statements from platoon members, along with contact information on the iron major who probably wrote it. Yes, that's right, the original SIR which was written within the first 24-48 hours of his disappearance.

The generals can go to the club for a round of golf. No need to hear from them. This appears to be a common case of AWOL in a war zone.

#5 Probably nothing here, but if the Bergdahl swap for 5 terrorists is somehow connected to the tragic loss of an AMBO in Benghazi. Say a desperate 'Plan B' or something equally as sinister, could we have the details of that arrangement as well ?

Just something to quiet the conspiracy theorists and wild-eyed doubters. I'm sure you'll understand.

#6 Were the Army to cut Bergdahl a break because he was also a fool to have left his post, it would be tantamount to sanctioning such action in the future, which undermines the very essence of military discipline.

As the Village People music plays in the background.

What about the fact that several died looking for this jerk? Is there some doubt that he left his post and went native? Cover up of a very bad deal?

#7 General Dahl wants another star.

The next president is going have to do some house cleaning by asking for some early retirements.

#8 The way some of these generals have sold their country's security for political gain the next round of cleaning needs to be done with a firing squad.
