re: #218 Killgore Trout

At the same time I would have advised the White House (unless they know something we don’t) to temper their talking to points to something like “We looked at all the options and this is the best we could do. “

Yeah, hard to imagine they might know something we don’t. //

I think Susan Rice’s statement that Berdahl served with honor and distinction don’t wuite match the evidence we have.

Army will conduct ‘comprehensive’ review of Bergdahl disappearance, captivity

WASHINGTON — The Army will conduct a “comprehensive” review of the disappearance and subsequent capture of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl by Taliban forces in 2009, the service announced Tuesday afternoon.

Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren told reporters Tuesday morning that an Article 15-6 investigation into Bergdahl’s disappearance had been conducted, but it is closed and the results are classified.

That investigation was conducted by Combined Joint Task Force-82 in Afghanistan.

It could be awhile before the new review is launched.

“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 … 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,” Secretary of the Army John McHugh said in a statement. […]
