Interesting how in yesterday’s hearing, one of the congresscritters asked Hagel why he was not brought back to the US already and Hagel got pissed when it was implied that games were being played keeping him in Germany.

Well suddenly today he is being sent back. Curious....

In the most tense exchange of the hearing, Rep. Jeff Miller (R., Fla.) asks why the military hasn’t asked Sgt. Bergdahl about his capture by the Taliban and why he hasn’t been brought to a military hospital in the U.S. Mr. Hagel clearly took umbrage at Rep. Miller and said he doesn’t like “the implications” of the question. “This guy was held for five years in God knows what conditions,” Mr. Hagel said. Angrily, Mr. Hagel suggests the U.S. isn’t going to interfere with Sgt. Hagel’s medical care to begin an interrogation of him, and says members of Congress shouldn’t second guess the medical decisions.
