US drone 'kills Haqqani commander Sangeen Zadran known as the captor of Bowe Bergdahl.There are many field commanders in Afghanistan, but turnover is high because many get killed or captured. The most prominent is or "was" Mullah Sangin, who is or "was" believed to be holding Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl a captured U.S. soldier and Zakim Shah the movement's shadow governor of Khost province. Inside the Haqqani network
Taliban offered to free US soldier for Guantanamo prisoners:
The Afghan Taliban are ready to free a U.S. army soldier held captive
since 2009 in exchange for five of their senior operatives imprisoned at
Guantanamo Bay as a conciliatory gesture, a senior spokesman for the
group said Thursday. The offer follows this week's official opening of a
Taliban political office in Doha, the capital of the Gulf state of
Qatar.
This
would be great! Remember when Bergdahl was first captured retired
Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters an ex army intelligence officer I have
yet to find any proof of combat duty is willing to condemn PFC Bergdahl
for desertion. He said if Bergdahl betrayed his fellow soldiers by
deserting while in Afghanistan that he would not mind if the Taliban
killed him and save the US time and money. I know Peters is a Faux news
pundit but I refuse to believe him or anyone there will condemn a fellow
American to serve their Political purpose.
I feel for this man, this is Afghanistan not the US. Do you remember the nonsensical rhetoric coming from Fox news? Fox News Contributor Ralph Peters: Taliban Should Kill Captured US

Bergdahl was captured June 30th 2009 under what is still unknown circumstances. Two US officials said Bergdahl appears to have just wandered off his post unarmed.

First off it's hard to say what PTSD will do to a soldier. What seems rational to you and I may not be so for those suffering from it.
Second why not just implant a tracking device on the five prisoners held at Gitmo and let them go. We could pick them up later or better yet get more info on the organization.
Personally I think we put the wrong people in Gitmo after 9/11 and yes hearts should go out to this man. I do not know what I would have done in his situation. After being held hostage in a foreign country his confusion and fear must have been great.
Thanks Again for another well thought out piece.
