Statement by Secretary of the Army John McHugh on Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl
Secretary of the Army John McHugh released the following statement:
"As an Army, we are grateful that an American soldier is back in American hands. The warrior ethos is more than words, and we should never leave a comrade behind.
"Our first priority is ensuring Sgt. Bergdahl's health and beginning his reintegration process. There is no timeline for this, and we will take as long as medically necessary to aid his recovery.
"As Chairman Dempsey indicated, the Army will then review this in a comprehensive, coordinated effort that will include speaking with Sgt. Bergdahl to better learn from him the circumstances of his disappearance and captivity. All other decisions will be made thereafter, and in accordance with appropriate regulations, policies and practices."

Well of course he does. I can't act as his judge, jury and executioner, either.

"Terrorists" doesn't seem accurate. Enemy combatants, okay, but even that was limited.

Wasiq was involved with relations with al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups. He is a terrorist.

He was a Taliban commander, too, not just a guy who knew al-Qaeda members.
