Taliban Sends Message about US Prisoner Bowe Bergdahl

29 March 2012
Several years ago, the Taliban captured a US Soldier named Bowe Bergdahl. Yesterday was Bergdahl’s third birthday in captivity.
I’ve asked the Taliban several times to see Bergdahl. They have declined in the past citing security reasons. I recently asked the Taliban again about Bergdahl’s condition.
A message came from key Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid. More accurately, the email came from his account.
There is strong reason to believe that messages from this account are coming from from Zabihullah Mujahid, or someone deep within the “Big T” Taliban. (Upper leadership.)
In the past, this account has provided me with breaking information that could not have been derived from the news. For instance, Zabihullah, or whoever uses the account, messaged me last year just as the big hotel attack in Kabul unfolded. The account provided detailed information so early in the attack that the author must have had foreknowledge.
The actual messages might not be accurate, and they often exaggerate, but the account is real. This message came on 29 March 2012 in response to my inquiry about Bowe Bergdahl:
“He is healthy and with Taliban , we were in tuch with amerian to talk about exchange the prisoner but they not ecept this . and just wast the time . I personly issure u that he will be released , How , When , this is secret .”
I have requested again to visit Bowe Bergdahl.

That does not look like a translation problem but an intentional attempt to make it look like a communication/t ranslation problem. The rest of the message is too well put together/transl ated. Be careful Mike might be an attempt to lure you in.
And they're probably paranoid about him. I mean, he's worth his weight in gold to them, considering how he is currently the only American servicemember currently either unacounted for or held in captivity.
I do however sincerely hope we can get him back through dialogue and deal making.
What you get open source very rarely is even the tip of the iceberg. I participated in the frantic search for him in the hours following the discovery of his missing.
I applaud your effort and courage. But please be careful dealing with these people. You obviously have some trust in your contacts but I am very leery of trusting any of them. At this point our President has basically told them they will win in the end so they can afford to be benevolent at this point if it expedites our departure. I just get sick of all the lives and time wasted when once again the US enters a war and handcuffs the military. Our civilian leadership has learned nothing from Vietnam. Be safe and good luck!
Glad to see someone keeping a look out for a fellow american. Our boys cant do it alone.
