I heard that as well, however the NOTE was first learned in an article from the New York Times. The following is intercepted communications from the Taliban. The next morning, more than 24 hours after Bowe had vanished, U.S. intelligence intercepted a conversation between two Taliban fighters: "I SWEAR THAT I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING YET. WHAT HAPPENED. IS THAT TRUE THAT THEY CAPTURED AN AMERICAN GUY?" "YES THEY DID. HE IS ALIVE. THERE IS NO WHERE HE CAN GO (LOL)" "IS HE STILL ALIVE?" "YES HE IS ALIVE. BUT I DONT HAVE THE WHOLE STORY. DONT KNOW IF THEY WERE FIGHTING. ALL I KNOW IF THEY WERE FIGHTING. ALL I KNOW THAT THEY CAPTURE HIM ALIVE AND THEY ARE WITH HIM RIGHT NOW." Then another intercept was picked up: "CUT THE HEAD OFF" Later that evening, a final intercept confirmed that Bowe had been captured by the Taliban, who were preparing an ambush for the search party. "WE ARE WAITING FOR THEM." "LOL THEY KNOW WHERE HE IS BUT THEY KEEP GOING TO WRONG AREA." "OK SET UP THE WORK FOR THEM." "YES WE HAVE A LOT OF IED ON THE ROAD." "GOD WILLING WE WILL DO IT." "WE WERE ATTACKING THE POST HE WAS SITTING TAKING EXPLETIVE HE HAD NO GUN WITH HIM. HE WAS TAKING EXPLETIVE, HE HAS NOT CLEANED HIS BUTT YET." "WHAT SHAME FOR THEM." "YES LOOK THEY HAVE ALL AMERICANS, ANA HELICOPTERS THE PLANES ARE LOOKING FOR HIM." "I THINK HE IS BIG SHOT THAT WHY THEY ARE LOOKING FOR HIM." A third voice chimed in: "CAN YOU GUYS MAKE A VIDEO OF HIM AND ANNOUNCE IT ALL OVER AFGHANISTAN THAT WE HAVE ONE OF THE AMERICANS." "WE ALREADY HAVE A VIDEO OF HIM."

Very much in doubt. I'm not saying the guys were saints, but I don't believe any of them were directly tied to 9/11. I don't believe they were involved or should I say no info if they were involved in 9/11. However they were top operative in the Al-Qaida organization and developed planning, logistic, intel...among others to communicate and execute operations through-out Afghanistan or other locations that resulted in lives lost.

Bill, lets not forget, he went over the wall...under the wire on his own free well. He left a note on his bunk that he was leaving. Radio chatter was intercepted that a young American man was looking for someone who could speak English and that he was wanting to talk to the Taliban. Several afgan children had reported to an American patrol that was out looking for him that he was seen crawling in the brush & grass and asked for water. Bergdahl abandoned his POST and his COMRADES, and it is being stated by those brave men that served with him that they lost brother's in arms looking for a soldier that had deserted them while in the battle field. You can leave the Right Winger statement out of this...not necessary. I understand your somewhat pissed off that your President is under attack for "Acting Stupidly". But to give up 5 men who are responsible for hundreds if not thousands of innocent lives being lost, American and Afghani for a Soldier who deserted and sought out our enemy should be impeach and forced from office in my humble opinion.

And there is this...a bit long but I think it covers most of the discussion. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2646787/He-face-court-martial-desertion-Two-former-Bowe-Bergdahl-platoon-mates-say-thousands-danger-abandoned-Army-post.html

Hell the DUDE even left a letter on his bunk explaining why he was leaving. This man, should be held accountable as a deserter and placed behind bars. If it comes out that he was training our enemies how to make bombs and execute ambushes then maybe even a charge of treason. But then again, if faced with the possibility of have thy head removed with a dull knife we could just consider additional jail time.

+1 The bloodlust is strong in many places still. It usually seems to be strongest in places with those who claim to follow Christ the most. -1

If your going to do the CRIME you gotta do the TIME. Yep, its messed up...big topic here in the Houston Area on Talk Radio. A hope this is worked out, and reduced to a misdemeanor charge.

> But closing just one coal fired power plant saves tens of millions of birds, because thousands of acres of forests and streams will not need to be destroyed to get at the coal beneath them. Are coal producers not required to replant and or make efforts to restore the land scape? Just asking the question. I've seen photos of strip mining / mountaintop removal mining if that is the correct term and yes, it's like turning a large area in the thousands of acres into a lunarscape. Why not Nuclear Energy...is that not a better idea?

> How many windmill producing factories derive their energy from windmills? Valero Plant in "Sunray Texas" receives some of it's energy from a Windmill farm located around it. Not sure of the amount of energy it gets from this source but I believe It receives a percentage of it's power needs from Wind generated electricity.

No vote necessary for me. It came across as a Damit, I didn't acknowledge the Marine saluting me as I entered. Let me go to him and offer my apologies and a thank you. While back on board, "were the hell did Michelle put my gulf clubs"?

$15.00 per hour is a JOKE. Hell they should be demanding at minimum $20 to $25 per hour. As Sheila Jackson Lee would put it, "I'm Outraged" I'm sure the American people are looking forward to buying their burgers at the incredible low/low price of 15-20 dollars each. Take the family out to Outback Stake House for a mere $50 to $60 dollar per plate, that's a damn good IDEA... Hell while were at it, lets fund these Bozoo's with a NEW CAR, paid Child Care, and fund whatever they believe is a basic human right. I'm sure everyone pissing and moaning on this blog can afford it.

And that, is exactly the problem. See, it's not about what you're fine with today. It's about the precedent that opens up the possibility of any one of a number of things you will NOT be okay with in the future. Yet, because you've chosen to only worry about your own point of view today, you've given permission to other people who will do things you probably won't be okay with later. This is what is wrong with the typical person and business in America today. People look after their own immediate and short term self interests rather than looking at the ramifications further down the line. By saying you're "fine" with this today, you have essentially said you're also "fine" with a system of government that parallels Saudi Arabia. You might want to look into what that's like. Excellent reply, if it is OK with you I would like to forward this to the White House. Maybe someone there can see the wisdom expressed herein.

Your climate change theory is a combination of extreme political ideology and a religious cult all rolled into one as Patrick Moore a PhD in Ecology would say. "You could learn more about the future by throwing a bunch of bones on the ground" Maybe some of you believers should do just that, throw some bones on the ground and get back with us say in 100 years.

Not true. The "cocktail" being used has not been properly tested and its source is kept secret. The whole affair is DISGUSTING, as are those who support it. Just because I support the Death Penalty doesn't make me disgusting. I'm a rather Cool Dude so I'm told. In any case, I'm sure they will get it right next time.

A fitting end to a man who shot a women with a shot gun and then watched as she was buried alive. So no embarrassing farce as I see it. Should have ended it with a bullet to the head. Bullet to the head that might be the ticket your looking for. Cheap and simple. Not to mention when was the last time we hung someone from a crane in the town square? Only Kallend could compare a trial in Iran to a trial in the U.S. and say they are the same thing.... Its enough to make you want to jump from a plane. Many here on DZ.com are far apart on this issue just as many of our founders. But I always enjoyed reading from our founder fathers because they were far superior to thought and intellect than I. Thomas Jefferson had this to say concerning capital punishment through a letter to his friend Edward Pendleton. "The fantastical idea of virtue and the public good being a sufficient security to the state against the commission of crimes, which you say you have heard insisted on by some, I assure you was never mine. It is only the sanguinary hue of our penal laws which I meant to object to. Punishments I know are necessary, and I would provide them, strict and inflexible, but proportioned to the crime. Death might be inflicted for murder and perhaps for treason if you would take out of the description of treason all crimes which are not such in their nature. Rape, buggery &c. punish by castration. All other crimes by working on high roads, rivers, gallies &c. a certain time proportioned to the offence. But as this would be no punishment or change of condition to slaves (me miserum!) let them be sent to other countries. By these means we should be freed from the wickedness of the latter, and the former would be living monuments of public vengeance. Laws thus proportionate and mild should never be dispensed with. Let mercy be the character of the law-giver, but let the judge be a mere machine. The mercies of the law will be dispensed equally and impartially to every description of men; those of the judge, or of the executive power, will be the eccentric impulses of whimsical, capricious designing man."

"Democratic members of the CBC said that while West attended meetings, they didn't pay much attention to him." Allen West was the first Republican member of the CBC in 14 years when he joined. Prior to him was Rep. Gary A. Franks of Connecticut who left office in 1997. The only other was Timothy E. Scott of South Carolina who declined to join the group. Well Timothy E. Scott never was truly asked by the CBC to be a member.

Ya Just like all the other states Your predictions will fail miserably (just like the AGW alarmists) Fun huh...... What is the death toll so far in Florida since the enactment of Stand your ground after instigating an incident... seems like open season on people of color.. but since Florida is the home of the Rosewood Massacre.... It is just tradition. Open season on black people in Chicago is year round with no bag limit despite some of the strictest gun laws in the country, but apparently only other black people can get a license... Thomas Jefferson had this to say, "The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

Well, I think it worth pointing out that Bundy will pay the state of Nevada for grazing his cattle, he just feels that paying the FED is not appropriate as it is a State Rights issue to him. The State of Nevada is a sovereign state the Feds have no right to be designating State Land as Federal property. (well I might have that wrong, but I believe that has been his argument). As for the illegal alien...they should be deported and any illegal alien showing up with guns should be meet with appropriate force as they are foreign nationals taking up arms against the United States.

>"How can you not hate somebody that wishy washy."

Because they got it by screwing the 99%. Bastards should, should be imprisoned and all that money distributed to us lesser folk. Then all will be right in the world. Well until some of us start screwing with the rest of us and then the process starts all over. There is an exception to this rule..."The Koch Brother's" them are Good Rich people.

Poor women, to think she spent all that money on a college education to only fail in her career. A mind is a terrible thing to waste when you hitch it to a dumb ass policy.

7 million is a false number. How many have PAID a premium????, and how many were insured prior to losing their insurance. I would be surprised if the number was truly greater than 3.5 million. HELL, how many have a Insurance Card that a doctor's office can verify and actually confirm the individual standing before them is insured? The number can't be trusted.

Hey, "Corporations are People to"
