bowe bergdahl has appeared in several taliban propaganda videos, critizing america and pleading for freedomw, an e-mail to his parents *before* his capture portrays bergdahl as a man who was already disillusioned with the war. he said the army was full of liars, backstabbers, fools and bullies. and he said he was ashamed to be an american. the pentagon only says that it's still trying to win bergdahl's freedom. president obama strongly defends himself... against accusations his administration leaked highly-classified information... to toughen his image on national security issues. recent news reports... detail some of the white house's policies towards al-qaeda and iran. >>the notion that my white.house would purposely release classified national security information is offensive. it is wrong. we are dealing with issues that deal with the safety and security of the american people-to-our families or military personnel or allies ... we don't play with that. the house and senate intelligence committees are trying to put a stop to leaks of sensitive, national security information. >>it puts us
