Now right-wing media guys are going after the parents, too?  Bergdahl's parents are Presbyterian, and the father probably learned Pashto so he could understand and communicate with the people who captured his son.

Yes, the fact he looks like a Taliban was necessary to understand Pashto?

George, I'm playing with little George and Daniel on the deck, and if either of them were captured by a terrorist offshoot of the Blue Man Group, and I even DREAMED that I might have the option someday of meeting them to release my boy, and that mimicing their physical appearance might help create even SOME rapport, I'd paint myself blue.  From head to toe, twig, berries, ass and taint. Anything to foster the flicker of chance, especially after 5 hellish years of uncertainty and raw unadulterated dread.

I really can't blame the guy.
