[QUOTE="Jones, post: 1339106, member: 4805"] Well there's a couple sources in your article. The one that you are choosing to use is this guy: [I]The group is run by Duane R. ("Dewey") Clarridge, a former senior operations officer for the Central Intelligence Agency in the 1980s best known for having been indicted for lying to Congress about his role in the tangled set of events that became known as the Iran-Contra scandal. [/I] If you read further down in the same article they also quote former CENTCOM commander General Mattis, who had this to say: [I]Mattis was also adamant that no one at CENTCOM or within the broader U.S. military or intelligence community -- despite intensive investigation of such allegations -- ever learned of anything to suggest Bergdahl had evolved into an active collaborator with the Haqqani network or the Taliban. "We were always looking for actionable intelligence," Mattis said. "It wasn't just the IC [intelligence community]. We had tactical units that were involved in the fight. We had SIGINT. Any collaborators who were on the other side and who came over to our side. We kept an eye on this. ... There was never any evidence of collaboration."[/I] How about instead of trying this guy in the press in the service of a partisan agenda, we wait for the Army to conclude it's investigation?
