Sgt Bergdahl, 28, arrived back on American soil five days ago after spending almost five years in captivity. He was released last month in exchange for five Guantánamo Bay prisoners. Two versions of his politically-charged story are already in the works. Mark Boal and Kathryn Bigelow, the team known for writing, producing and directing The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty – which attracted considerable controversy for its portrayal of CIA interrogation techniques – have begun the early stages of a film, focusing on the deal for his release, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Cha Ching! Plus he supposedly has about 200k of army pay sitting in the bank. Could this be bill ayres pt II? “Supposedly” anti-American POS profits hugely from his misdeeds? Man, what a country huh?

“planned” and “in the works” means they haven’t found financing yet. Someone is shopping an idea.

Over $300,000 sitting in the bank.

By the way, did Nidal Hasan ever get stripped of his back pay?

That’d probably be racist. Isn’t i-slam a race now? Descendents from immigrants from Spain, a european country, have somehow managed to get being hiss-panic declared a “race”. I guess must be Dutchish. Ever notice how none of the other countries in europe get this dis-stink-tion?

I’ll take Kathryn Bigelow. She did Zero Dark Thirty which was great and the liberals hated it.
