Bergdahl, a prisoner of the Taliban for five years, was released last summer in exchange for five Guantanamo Bay detainees. He indeed may be charged with desertion, and CNN’s Barbara Starr reported on Tuesday that a decision may come very soon.
But the Fox and NBC reports explicitly said that the decision had already been reached.
And the Fox segment strongly suggested that the White House was resisting the desertion charges.
On Monday’s edition of “The O’Reilly Factor,” guest Tony Shaffer, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, said he’d been told that “the Army has decided that they want to pursue Bergdahl for this violation.”
