Private Bergdahl - assuming he's still alive - is spending Christmas as a captive of the Taliban.
His captors spent the last day or two uploading a video showing Private Bergdahl reading a statement.
The video was divided into four segments and uploaded to YouTube on 25 December 2009. The YouTube account is:

“Report: Bergdahl escaped for three days”
By KBOI Web Staff Published: Dec 8, 2011 at 10:12 AM MST
SNIPPET: “HAILEY, Idaho - Hailey Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl is still believed to be the only American soldier held-hostage by the Taliban.
But now, the Daily Beast, an offshoot of Newsweek Magazine, is reporting that Bergdahl tried to escape from his captors a few months ago by jumping out of a first-floor window of a house made of brick and mud while in Pakistan.”
SNIPPET: “Marsano said he has no idea whether the story contains any truth and nothing has been confirmed through the military.”
Yes and I’ll pray for him.
That looks like the most current photo I’ve seen online over the years.
Thanks Cindy.

Pentagon Dedicated to Bergdahls Return, Spokesman Says
By Karen Parrish American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 2012 The safe return of the only U.S. service member known to be in Taliban captivity remains a top Defense Department priority, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said today.
Army Sgt. Bowe R. Bergdahl is someone Pentagon leaders remember every day, Little told reporters at a news conference.
We are taking steps on a regular basis to try to determine precisely where he is, and to secure his freedom, he added.
Reconciliation between the Taliban and the Afghan government remains an Afghan-led process, Little said in response to a reporters question, and is not linked to the departments efforts to secure Bergdahls release.
We are strongly dedicated to getting Bowe Bergdahl home to his family in Idaho, he said. We want to see that happen as quickly as possible. We never forget those who remain in the custody of those who should not be holding our soldiers.
Bergdahl, 26, from Hailey, Idaho, has been missing since June 30, 2009, when his unit in Afghanistan noted his absence from roll call. He is assigned to 1st Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, based at Fort Richardson, Alaska.

“Drone Strike Kills Senior Afghan Terrorist Linked to Kidnapping of US Soldier
Three al Qaeda terrorists also killed in N. Pakistan missile attack”
BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff
September 6, 2013 4:22 pm
SNIPPET: “A drone strike in northern Pakistan has killed a senior leader of the Islamist terror group known as the Haqqani Network, according to reports from the region.
Mullah Sangeen Zadran was killed by a U.S. missile strike fired from a remotely piloted drone aircraft in an operation in North Waziristan Thursday night, local sources and Pakistani intelligence officials told the Express newspaper in Karachi.
The drone strike involved several air-launched missiles that killed a total of six people and injured four others at an al Qaeda camp at Nawab, about 150 miles northeast of Karachi.
Others killed included Jordanian al Qaeda members Muhammad Abu Bilal Al-Khurrasani and Abu Dogana Al-Khairrasani, and Egyptian al Qaeda terrorists identified in reports only as Zubair.”
SNIPPET: “Zadran also reportedly was involved in the kidnapping of U.S. solider Sgt. Bowe Robert Bergdahl who has been held by the Haqqani network since June 2009.”
