the questions about how this captivity even happened. about the fact he wandered off on his own and now the excellent news is that he's free, now what happens to him? is he going to you know, go through the obvious recovery and process and then kind of move on? or is the army going to drill down on the circumstances that led to him wandering off? >> that's a question better asked of secretary of defense chuck hagel. i suspect his five years in captivity will speak for itself. then again, you never know what motivated him leaving that base in paktika province that evening. look, having covered the war in afghanistan, there were tremendous efforts made to find then private now sergeant bergdahl in the summer of 2009, in afghanistan. and in some cases, those efforts hindered the ability of the united states military to do other things. because they had so much reconnaissance and other efforts and assets devoted to finding him. so if those who use social media and are on facebook or twitter or in the military or part of the military, part of

first, people should remember, he was not taken captive on a battlefield.t engaged innim combat, as we lose most of our p.o.w.s. in the middle of the night he decided to walk off the base and into town. so i think that muddles a little bit and shows there is room for investigation of what he was up to and trying to accomplish. and secondly, i think once we see the names of these five taliban that have been released, and people get -- people get a clearer look at exactly who they are, we may be a little bit disturbed about who is out there. you know, it's not just that these guys are going to engage whatever troops we have left on the battlefield in afghanistan. the taliban has been able to go far beyond the bounds of afghanistan and elsewhere. and these guys after their time in guantanamo are going to have a real axe to grind with america. so this story has a way to go, i think. and again we're happy he's out and glad he's back safe, but there are many questions to be answered. >> you read my mind there. that's what i was thinking. i was thinking, okay, we'

he was held captive. we're not sure if it was afghanistan, pakistan, but between the two countries, but the taliban have held him. they have released several videos, it turns out not only in 2009, but they used them as a propaganda tool through the years in 2010 and in 2011 in his initial videos. he only gave his place of birth, which is idaho. his deployment to afghanistan, and the fact that he was captured in all of those videos is asked for the release of taliban detainees. bergdahl also talked about the fact that he didn't think that the u.s. needed to be in the war. of course, he was a prisoner of war, and obviously he was being subjected to coercion for any of the statements he was making. but it was always believed as analysts aj green pointed out that he would be used as an prisoner exchange. >> let's talk about that quid pro quo. this deal involves releasing five detainees from guantanamo. >> reporter: it will suggest that the u.s. is willing to make a deal in exchange for the return of our peopl

he has been held captive since 2009.doubtedly for him and for his entire family. we are getting a few more details about how this all came about at this hour, alex. the white house official confirming that the u.s. did secure his safe return in exchange for the relief of five detainees at guantanamo. we're anticipating we will get more details about that and information that we're expecting to come out from the department of defense momentarily. we're also being told that he's in good condition, alex, that he's able to walk around. so that's certainly welcome news from his family. and of course this all coming as president obama just last weekend when we were on the air made that surprise trip to afghanistan to thank the troops for their service, and then just a few days later, announced there would be 9,800 american troops left in afghanistan at the end of this year, as the u.s. begins to draw down its entire troop presence there. so certainly a momentum moment not only for bo bergdahl, for this administration, and for

we had a man in captivity for five years. we could not leave our men on the field. at the end of the day, the president made the right call. >> tammy, your sense, do you think the president made the right call or could they have done something else because there is some criticism now coming in. >> look, the problem started from years ago with the fact that the taliban even still exist. we obviously all are united in the joy of this young man coming home. but the fact that he was held by the taliban, that we were negotiating with terrorists, that the taliban are still a factor in afghanistan was an issue starting with george w. bush. so it is about leadership and about choices. yes, we would want all our troops home. but usually it would be about killing the enemy to bring them home and rescue them. because of the end result of this, separate from the joy of that family, is that now we will have to also grieve the additional young men and women and americans who will be captured, kidnapped or killed. so this is its very tempered and we will have to be dealing with ce

military in enemy captivity.r years of his short life have been spent in captivity held by a group loosely affiliated with the afghan

do you think the fact that he's military made him a different caliber of captive?. there are numerous cases where the u.s. government has not negotiated with groups that it deems to be terrorists where the captive is, you know, just an ordinary civilian. an example of this is al qaeda a few years back took hostage of an american aid worker in pakistan stan. his name is weinstein. we've seen video of him. he looks in very bad shachlt he's in his 70s now. he's negotiating with president obama for peace but the likelihood of that is low unfortunately for him. so in the case where there's a military hostage, it's a different kind of set of concerns. not only that, combat troops are out of afghanistan at the end of december 2014. so be it there's some presence going on after that but not a combat presence once an agreement is signed with the fwachb government. you know, traditionally at the end of war there's an exchange of prisoners of war and this is an example of that. you know, the taliban detainees at guantanamo are prisoners of war. if it's ceasing, there's an int

it's amazing that bo bergdahl has survived five years in captivity.him, i was taken into pakistan, a safe area the taliban have where the pakistani government does not control this large portion of the northwest part of the country. >> that's why they were labeled hold him so long. >> in your own experience, you were working as a journalist. how were you captured? >> i was invited by the taliban and instead of speaking with me, they abducted me and two afghan colleagues. i was in afghanistan but they quickly took me into pakistan where they have the safe haven. >> what were the conditions like? >> it was sort of an isolated compound. i was moved from house to house. i think he would have been moved as well. you know, they are very worried about drone strikes. there were many happening at that time. it's just amazing, again, that bo has kept going and kept himself alive for five long years. >> what do you think he is going through knowing your own experience in the release. >> he's -- this will sound strange. he is elated. many people think, my gosh. t
