Lawyer: Ex-Taliban Captive Bowe Bergdahl Says Obama ‘Saved His Life’
ABC News ^ | July 16, 2014 | By BRIAN ROSS and LUIS MARTINEZ

The new lawyer representing Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl said the former Taliban prisoner is “deeply grateful” to President Obama for his freedom.

“He believes President Obama saved his life,” attorney Eugene Fidell told ABC News in an interview to be broadcast on “World News With Diane Sawyer”.

“I think there are people that have been using Sgt. Bergdahl for target practice in the media. I think that’s extremely unfortunate,” Fidell added later. “People should resist the temptation to try this case in the media… just hold the phone.”

The attorney also would not discuss whether he has spoken with Bergdahl’s parents. Since his return to the U.S. Bergdahl himself has declined to speak with his parents, defense officials said.

Yeah, after 5 years they were going to kill their bargaining chip and bed warmer.

Damn shame he couldn’t save the lives of the ones that had to search for this clown.

He certainly wasn’t worth the trade for the 5 terrorists. We should have left him there.

He may have saved your life, but he certainly aided in the death of thousands in the future once the five killers he traded for you are back to their trade.

Thousands:

I don’t think your life is worth thousands, do you?

Muzzie radicals always take care of each other when the immediate enemy is The Great Satan.

Things sure have changed since I was in. Leaving your post was a serious offense during peacetime. At least a major article 15. During wartime in a combat zone was always at least several years in a federal prison. Could be shot.

Are they now maintaining that he was immature and the sneaky Taliban lured him into a white windowless van with the promise of candy?

Maybe things are different now and a soldier get a free time out for when they have that not so patriotic feeling.

From just his unit, six died trying to find Bergdahl shortly after his disertion.

Some day, some how, this traitor will have no protection.

I believe a toothbrush awaits him.
