Former U.S. Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North stated recently that Bergdahl was not a “prisoner of war” and was actually being held “hostage” by the Haqqanis, a terrorist group separate from the Taliban and associated with al Qaeda – and that a ransom was actually paid for him.
“Someone paid a ransom,” he said. “Whether the Qataries paid it, or some big oil sheik, or somebody used our petrodollars, but there was a ransom paid in cash for each one of them, my guess somewhere in the round numbers of $5 or 6 million to get Bergdahl freed. I know that the offer that was on the table before was close to a million.”
North goes on to state that this sets a dangerous precedent and places a price tag on every American’s head – exposing anyone who travels outside the US to the threat of kidnapping.
Patrick you are wrong…HE KNEW what the backlash was going to be..that is why he did it!
Sounds like B.S. to me.
