Bergdahl reveals the impossible choices faced by hostages’ families

I’m biased about Bergdahl. Five years ago, I was kidnapped by the same Afghan Taliban faction along with two Afghan colleagues while I was on leave from The New York Times, researching a book in Afghanistan. An offer for an interview from a Taliban commander who had previously met twice with European journalists proved to be a ruse. We were abducted at the meeting point and then transported to the tribal areas of Pakistan.

1. Money quote at the end.. mahalo riverwalker!

"The focus of our anger should be the kidnappers. They are the problem, not hostages, their families, or a government that meets a demand.

We must unite in fighting the perpetrators of a craven crime — not each other."
