Only American POW in Afghanistan Freed
++Army Sgt.Bowe Berghdal had been a prisoner of war for the past 5 years. It is widely believed he was held by the Taliban in Pakistan. Through Qatar,the Obama Administration has been negotiating for his release.Previously to this past year,it had been prevented from releasing prisoners from Gitmo without Congressional say so. With the change in the law,the Administration traded 5 Taliban commanders for his release. The commanders, according to conservatives, are part of the group highly likely to return to the battlefield. The administration says they will be held in Qatar for at least a year. No doubt,you will hear howls of protest for the deal. As it is, right-wing bloggers have started attacking Berghdal because he appeared in several Taliban videos. When American personnel picked him up today, he wrote on a paper dish "SF?", meaning Special Forces. They said "yes, we've been looking for you for a awhile." Sgt.Berghdal cried.
