Army Finally Hearing Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's Side of the Story

Now that everybody has moved on to the next outrage.

Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is expected to meet with Army investigators on Wednesday in the opening round of questioning about his disappearance five years ago. Bergdahl eventually ended up as a Taliban prisoner.

ABC News, CNN and the BBC are reporting that Bergdahl, who hails from Idaho, has been preparing for the meeting with his lawyer Eugene Fidell, who said the format will be people sitting around a conference table rather than an interrogation.

The Army's investigation team is being led by Major Gen. Kenneth Dahl.

Bergdahl was released by the Taliban in May as part of a controversial prisoner swap with inmates from Guantanamo Bay.

Pretty sure this guy was a Pfc when he went AOL. The fucking Army promoted him after he had deserted!

I'm having a hard time with the entire deal. First of all, trading 5 jihadis for one Marine seems like bad negotiation skills. Secondly, I would have thought his desertion of his post would have been reviewed fairly carefully when it happened. Of course, they did not have his side of the story, but, how much do you need? He deserted his post and placed himself in harm's way, getting some of his fellow soldiers killed in the process.
