I am not personally cognizant of any other American POW...ever held by the taliban.

Have you knowledge of there ever having been one?

I was under the impression that they took little time in dispatching infidels they came in contact with

I dont buy his story at ALL

In this case, it wasn’t exactly the Taliban holding holding Bergdahl...it was a mafia group (just for the money-type) that do practice Islam, but not in the pure sense that the Taliban guys do. Also, it should be noted that most of the five prisoners released...were ‘flipped’ by this group to the US (for reward money, I would assume) to start this business several years ago. This group only operates under the goal of cash...so somewhere in this mix....maybe not the US paying....but someone somewhere paid cash.
