kiming americans. bill: ed henry from overseas traveling in warsaw, poland liergd coverage. martha: questions of whether sergeant bergdahl was a deserter or potentially a collaborator with the taliban. pentagon sources saying many in the intelligence community had serious concerns that he may have deserted his post and working in some way with the enemy. what is the pentagon saying on this now? reporter: the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff says he will not rule out investigating bergdahl for desertion. they are going to question members of his unit again.
damaged leadership. trading one american for five terrorist that might encourage americans to be kid napped all over the world. it has been u.s. policy not to bargain with terrorist. but made an exception. in war, hard decisions have to be made. and this five terrorist will kill again. bob beckle and rich lowry is here with us. why would the president keep putting himself in this position where people are questions his leadership on a deep level? you know, we have a policy we don t leave soldiers on the battlefield and we certainly don t leave them with the enemy. so the question is how do you get them out? he negotiated with countries who
