Bergdahl Admitted "Torture" - Validation or Obama's Justification?

By Elizabeth Nelson

Bergdahl is claiming, or I would put it to you - admitting - that he was kept in a "man-made" box for weeks at a time.  The media is spinning this as Obama's Justification to act to free Bergdahl. However, is this proof of torture and validation of Obama’s need to act or proof of claims Bergdahl converted and consorted with the enemy, as FOX's witness claims he had done, during his Jihad against America?

"He’s said that they kept him in a shark cage in total darkness for weeks, possibly months,” one official told the New York Times, adding that the harsh treatment was retribution for at least one escape attempt.

The latest details offer a window into how Bergdahl — who is suspected of having deserted his outpost in June 2009 before disappearing — was treated during his nearly five years in captivity, and, if true, could substantiate some of the motives President Obama has said help justify the controversial trade he signed off on for his freedom.

So, Bergdahl is admitting he was "in a shark cage," because he "attempted to escape," and this would seem to line up with sources that report he did escape twice and was put in a box because of it.  The source also says that their relationship morphed and became one of trust, to the point where he was able to carry a gun and play soccer with them.

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 Taliban is claiming they didn't torture him but "we treated him well," documents show that Bergdahl at one point escaped his captors for five days and was kept, upon his re-capture, in a metal cage, like an animal. In addition, the reports detail discussions of prisoner swaps and other attempts at a negotiated resolution to the case that appear to have commenced as early as the fall of 2009. Read more Fox News

The Dr is already coming back with, there is nothing physically wrong with him, other than he has bad teeth and gums, typical of someone that has had a change of diet for the last 5 years. So, tortured, I don't think so, he was their valued guest and friend. Let's try him for no less than desertion and treason at most.
