Bowe Bergdahl, 23, of Ketchum Idaho who was captured more than five months ago in eastern Afghanistan.It could not be confirmed immediately that it was Bergdahl in the new video, which was released to The Associated Press and other news organizations. The man identifies himself as Bergdahl, born in Sun Valley, Idaho, and gives his rank, birth date, blood type, his unit and mother's maiden name before beginning a lengthy verbal attack on the U.S. conduct of the war in Afghanistan and its relations with Muslims.

Bergdahl investigation finished
By Sig Christenson : October 9, 2014

SAN ANTONIO — The Army said Thursday it has completed an investigation into Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's disappearance from a base in Afghanistan five years ago.

The report by Brig. Gen. Kenneth Dahl is being reviewed by commanders, but is not being released, Army spokesman Wayne Hall said.

Hall said the review process likely would be lengthy, and that “the Army's priority is ensuring that our process is thorough, factually accurate, impartial, and legally correct.”

Now assigned to U.S. Army North at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Bergdahl left an American outpost in the summer of 2009 and fell into the hands of the Taliban. Dahl looked into his actions prior to his disappearance, while the Army said it found no evidence that he helped the enemy while a captive.
