. >> new documents show that bergdahl converted to islam and declared jihad while in captivity. dougader has this fox news exclusive. >> a very complicated picture is emerging of bowe bergdahl. he had this long up and down relationship with the taliban captors. a private u.s. agency working for a government subcontractor kept an eye on bergdahl over the years. one of the agencies reports back in 2012 by james rosen said conditions for bergdahl have greatly relaxed since the time of the escape. he has converted to islam and described himself as muha gejidr warrior. >> in essence the answer that i got directly contradicts what you are reporting tonight. if this turns out to be true the administration lied to not only me but those at the hearing. >> bergdahl may have done it to save his life or could be a case of stockholm syndrome. it is impossible to know because we don't know what he said since he has been free. >> we are going to have to look at this guy, have him speak to america have a judgment about how healthy he is or was and explain exactly what were the circumstances of his l

doug. this idea that bo bergdahl is coming home. huge celebration. pow. last one in afghanistan.s a tender issue for republicans and other critics of the administration to take on but your point about being critical about the deal that was made to bring him home is what? >> well, it is this. first of all, let's understand we're all excited. bergdahl has been through hell five years in possession, i'm glad he's home. we're all glad for him and his family. we've got a deal with the fact that secretary of defense paneta refused to make this deal several year ago because we're talking about the defense minister of the taliban, the chief of staff of of their military armed forces. we're letting them go and setting a precedent. here's the question, how many american casualties were incurred capturing these very top people and then just letting them go and why do they then now what we would not do then and then i'm sorry, you have to ask yourself, out the timeline here, the hill paper said just this afternoon, in a news alert, this is all an effort to divert attention and to get the nar

doug. >> good morning. the entire house will meet later today to discuss this deal that brought bergdahl home. security threats we may face as a result. bergdahl remains hospitalized in germany right now since his rei lease. he is unwilling to even speak to his parents. he appears is in good health which many say is at odds from his immediate deal with the taliban. >> now he comes back and considering he is in decent health they changed their story. they say well we suspect his life is in danger if word got out on this pending possible trade that his life may be in darrening. i can tell you there's no intelligence to support that. while he came to a hero's welcome they are to stay off of the battlefield for a year. that drew skepticism for many democrats. john kerry defended the deal acknowledging the five could return and fight. >> i am not telling you they don't have some ability to get involved. but they also have the ability to get killed doing that. >> we will be hearing a lot more about this during the week. we mentioned the house hearing the senate hearing tomorrow and then on wednesday

doug schoen. gentlemen, let's start by dissecting what we now know to be the case with this situation with bowe bergdahlaccepting of the actual trade or what is coming down the pike for the white house? >> i'm seeing more and more questions being asked. for example, was there money paid to the haqqani network as part of the deal? we need to get answers to that question. how much refresh my recollection is there -- how much restriks is there on fact on the detainees in qatar and with john kerry having said today i think frankly strangely harris that we have drones -- we didn't say drones, but we have the means to kill people who get back to afghanistan. we need to find out what he was talking about and what he meant. >> wow. the reason i ask you about the axis changing on the story though is because we have heard from some lawmakers and others and critics who are saying what were the choices have been? even our own fox news contributor charles krauthammer said the white house bungled this, but he might have made the same decision. >> as time goes on, what we're learning on is you can't believe anything a
