Bowe Bergdahl Charged With Desertion

I think this is the correct course of action. We certainly were correct to ransom Bergdahl but now that he's safe from the Taliban, we need to get to the bottom of how he came to be in their possession.

It was the right thing to get him back; if he is found guilty then he should be punished and serve his sentence.

Concur in all respects.

1. We get back our guy.
2. We discipline our guy.

Why?

He's "our guy."

I think that matters.

Saw his lawyer on Newshour last night, thought Judy was doing a little trial by TV, she disappoints me of late.

The Kochs pretty much own PBS and NPR now.

Take note. The FOX 24/7 reporting of Hillary's emails has suddenly been replaced by 24/7 reporting of the treasonous behavior of the CINC in regard to Bowe Bergdahl.

The jury is still out on that one John. PBS is not a network and all stations are independently owned.

Yes, PBS is a network. Like any other network, the stations that carry the programming are "affiliates".

The News Hour is produced by PBS. All Things Considered and Morning Edition are produced by NPR. The Kochs also have got themselves onto the Board of WGBH Boston, the station that produces NOVA, Frontline, Masterpiece Theatre, This Old House, Antiques Roadshow and a ton of other programming on PBS.

The Kochs own PBS and NPR.
