White House Denies It Had Evidence Bergdahl Declared Himself Islam Warrior
Friday, 06 Jun 2014 09:01 AM
White House said it had not seen any evidence to corroborate a report that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl converted to Islam during his captivity or declared himself a "mujahid," or warrior for Islam. "We have seen no evidence of that," deputy national security adviser Tony Blinken told CNN...The Fox News report said that secret documents based on an eyewitness account of parts of Bergdahl's five-year captivity show that at times he had a seemingly friendly relationship with his captors, and was seen playing soccer, frequently laughing, and using the word "salaam," or "peace" in Arabic

| Arabic Phrase Spoken By Bergdahl's Dad Sparks Fiery Debate | | ||||||||||||
| | | ||||||||||||
| A simple Arabic phrase, "bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim," spoken by Robert Bergdahl, father of freed Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, at a press conference with President Obama on Sunday has sparked a heated debate. So why did Bergdahl use the phrase, what does it mean -- and exactly what message was he trying to send? Follow the controversy HERE.
critics are pointing to several other strange messages and tweets to identify an apparent pattern that could be cause for concern, particularly as the circumstances of Bowe Bergdahl’s capture are in question.
As previously reported by TheBlaze, Robert Bergdahl tweeted — and then deleted — the following message: “I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners. God will repay for the death of every Afghan child, amen!”
On June 1, he then tweeted a 2012 video report by the Guardian about Tunisians being held at Guantanamo Bay. “Ten years in Guantanamo: Tunisian families hope for loved ones’ release,” the tweet said.
“In another instance, Bergdahl appeared to have retweeted a Taliban representative linking to a news article detailing how the militant Islamist group stormed a base and killed ‘as many as 25 US cowardly troops,’” TheBlaze’s Oliver Darcy reports.
Robert Bergdahl claimed on Sunday that he follows “a bunch of jihadis” on Twitter because they are “great sources of information.” He also argued that “direct communications is the key to resolving conflict.”

Iranian viewpoint: PressTV
Bergdahl a hero for freedom and against war like Snowden
PressTV - Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl: Prisoner of the War Party antiwar.com speaks for Iran
the Christian Science Monitor is already pointing to the Hastings piece, prefiguring the inevitable debate that promises to be remarkably similar, in broad terms rather than in the details, to the Edward Snowden episode.
Both young men were idealists who initially took the US government at its word: they believed Washington embodied the spirit of liberty and that our military and intelligence agencies were involved in a crusade for freedom designed to benefit and uplift the long-suffering peoples of the world. Upon discovering that this isn’t so – and is, indeed, the exact opposite of the truth – both Bergdahl and Snowden rebelled, each in their own way and to the extent of their abilities. The debate around their motivations, their moral status, and the circumstances leading to their disillusionment, is what separates the Regimists from the defenders of our old republic – and the pre-9/11 political culture – as we enter an election year. Although I’d like nothing better than to be proved wrong, I fear "Benghazi!" may soon give way to "Bergdahl!" as the congressional GOP’s war cry.

- On Saturday, Bob and Jani Bergdahl stood in the White House Rose Garden with President Barack Obama to celebrate their son’s release.But the celebration isn’t without controversy. Questions remain about the circumstances surrounding Bergdahl’s disappearance in 2009, and the deal the U.S. government struck to gain his release last week.Some soldiers in Bergdahl’s unit believe he deserted his post after becoming disaffected with the military. Before his capture, Bergdahl had written emails to his parents that included strong anti-American sentiment, according to a 2012 articlein Rolling Stone.During the last few days, fellow soldiers have described dangerous missions to find Bergdahl after his disappearance, and have said at least six soldiers died in the search. Gen. Martin Dempsey—the highest-ranking U.S. military officer—said Bergdahl is “innocent until proven guilty,” but added the Army would “not look away from misconduct if it occurred.”In a barter for Bergdahl’s freedom, the U.S government agreed to release five top Taliban leaders from Guantanamo Bay prison. The deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan sent the militants to the nation of Qatar.
- the next year, Bowe continued to wrestle spiritually and spent time in a Buddhist monastery. By 2008, he had joined the U.S. Army and soon headed to Afghanistan. According to another church officer, Bowe never publicly professed faith in Christ before joining the military.
- Bob Bergdahl devoted himself to his son’s release, retiring early, growing a Taliban–style beard, and learning the local Afghan language to make videos and communicate with Afghans about his son. Bowe’s sister Sky kept a blog with frequent prayers for her brother.
