« Bergdahl's Team Leader: We Picked Up Taliban Radio Chatter Stating That Bergdahl Was Seeking to Talk to the Taliban |

Hello: White House Overrode Normal Rules of Interagency Debate on Bergdahl Exchange to Get the Answer They Wanted"Richard Windsor" just emailed to say "I approve." To pull off the prisoner swap of five Taliban leaders for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the White House overrode an existing interagency process charged with debating the transfer of Guantanamo Bay prisoners and dismissed long-standing Pentagon and intelligence community concerns based on Top Secret intelligence about the dangers of releasing the five men, sources familiar with the debate tell TIME. Remember that item, yesterday I think, about the WH "forcing a consensus" on the swap, where none existed? National Security Council officials at the White House decline to describe the work of the ad hoc process they established to trade the prisoners, or to detail the measures they have taken to limit the threat the Taliban officials may pose. They say consensus on the plan was reached by the top officials of Obama’s national security team, including representatives from the Pentagon, State Department, intelligence community and Joint Chiefs of Staff. “These releases were worked extensively through deputies and principals,” says National Security Counsel Deputy for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes. “There was not a dissent on moving forward with this plan.”
Dear Amazon Customer Service Department, I would like to return my "Most Intellectual President in United States History," Item Number 00-00044-0. It appears to be defective and, frankly, dumb.
Update: The Army Times has sources who say that Bergdahl "walked off" the base before the incident we all now know of. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl intentionally sneaked away from his forward operating base in Afghanistan just before he disappeared in 2009, and that may not have been the first time he left the post without permission, according to officials familiar with the military’s internal investigation. | Recent Comments
