Army Clears Bergdahl of Any Misconduct During Captivity

[Marianne]

As the Army continues to investigate whether Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is guilty of deserting his unit, this afternoon they said there is no reason to believe that Bergdahl engaged in any misconduct during his five years in captivity.

In fact, that's all that the Army said:

We have no reason to believe that he engaged in any misconduct."
Bergdahl electrified the national discourse last month after he was freed in a prisoner swap involving five members of the Taliban held at Guantanamo Bay. As charges against his character emerged, the narrative quickly shifted from Bergdahl as POW to Bergdahl as despicable deserter, unworthy bargaining chip, unwitting endangerer of America, and worse.

Here's what else we're learning about Bergdahl:

-- For now, he's on full Army pay, including $200,000 during his time in captivity, all of which he may ultimately have to return.

-- Military investigators have not read Bergdahl his rights.

-- Bergdahl has not yet spoken to his parents.

He is currently in an outpatient facility in Texas. The Army investigation is expected to conclude in mid-August. If charged with desertion, Bergdahl could face court-martial, prison, and even the death penalty.

Kind of like the claims pro-gay media outlets make about the discovery of "gay gene(s)...unless you read past the headline, you'd swear it was true..if you want it to be.

That's how the left works, lie & lie, and if that doesn't work, lie some more.

Of course, NO ONE on the right EVER does that.

they didn't 'clear' him they stated that they currently have 'no reason to believe'...

as the investigation is ongoing, i'm sure that could change IF any new information came up...

they said there is no reason to believe that Bergdahl engaged in any misconduct during his five years in captivity.

True, but some are interpreting that to mean he is currently cleared of any wrong doing while in captivity. Unless and until a claim with evidence of being engaged in misconduct is made the claim of him being cleared is justified and appropriate.

It's just part of the investigation, but that is the same as being cleared - on that point.

Go ahead and separate the fly-crap from the pepper, though.
