happening. to hear that the desertion charges were going forward was very much a relief. sergeant beuto what about you, you were with him the night he disappeared. did you always believe he had deserted? yes. i knew from the moment he left that he walked away on his own accord. and everyone on the base at that time knew the same thing. how did you know that? how were you so certain of that? it was just a culmination of everything that had happened prior to him deserting. and then when we woke up that morning and he wasn t there, it was just the gut feeling we had. we knew that that had happened and it was just shortly after that that we confirmed that by talking to some children who were outside the wire who told us that they saw him walking away. sergeant korder what about what president obama said there. where he said regardless of the
are. what is so sick about this guy that we had to move like that. we should get that now. you want to get in on this? i think there s a whole lot that we ve got, that was going to unfold here with regard to his health. i think there s an awful lot of speculation pouring out. hey don, it says, don come back. i don t know if that s you or what or if it s a misspelling, don t come back. there s a lot of interesting stuff here. but i think you re not going to see the army in operation. you re going to see how they handle folks that have to answer the music. i m very concerned about some of the comments we hear sergeant korder is a firsthand witness to some things. i m concerned about some of the behavior. but i think it s very important that we not prejudge at this stage. let the army process and work
back. it s good to have him back here too. all right. sergeant korder, thank you for sharing your insight this morning. i appreciate it. bergdahl s homecoming was secured by the release of these five men. former high ranking members of the taliban imprisoned at guantanamo bay. they are now in qatar. cnn s becky anderson caught up with attorney general jay johnson in abu dhabi after he met with officials in qatar about these men. what have you been told that their citizens are safe from those men delivered to qatar? i was in qatar to speak at the conference of the airline industry. i also met with local officials in qatar. i would say we have a very important relationship with qatar right now on a number of fronts. they ve been very good partners with us in national security on a number of fronts. people want to know how these men are living. it s reported they are living
sunglasses, scarfs over their faces. keeping their faces very well hidden. they do not turn their back to the taliban. they are very cautious. they are very careful. but they move very, very quickly to get bergdahl on the helicopter and get out of there. one of the last shots that you see on that helicopter is a couple of the commandos, the last two guys back on the chopper. they sit sideways with their feet dangling out looking out the entire time ready until the very last second if trouble were to break out. carol? nerves of steel. barbara starr reporting live from the pentagon this morning. let s talk more about this video of bowe bergdahl with one of his fellow soldiers former army sergeant josh korder served in afghanistan at the same time as bergdahl. welcome, sergeant. i m sorry, carol. i didn t hear what you just asked. i didn t ask anything yet. i m just welcoming you to the show and thank you for being with me. thank you.
do you think the u.s. government should have just left bergdahl behind? i don t agree with that. i think it s important that bergdahl came back. i really do think that bringing every soldier home is an obligation that we have to each other and bergdahl deserves the same as everyone else. however, he needs to answer for the things he did and i just don t necessarily agree with these five high-ranking individuals returning to the fight. the criticism of bowe bergdahl s service and the price paid by the obama administration for the release is raising questions on capitol hill and in homes across america. tony blinken joins me now from the white house. tony, what do you say to sergeant josh korder who served with bergdahl and went out on those patrols and said it completely changed their mission and he has no doubt that six of his fellow soldiers died as a result of those forays trying to
