(17,656 posts)Of his own free will.
I doubt that he admitted guilt of any kind.
According to the local news, his lawyer released a letter this week that Bowe wrote about how he was held in solitary confinement for the entire 5 years that he was a captive, alternately subjected to long periods of bright light, and long periods of total darkness in order to disorient him and cause him to lose any sense of time.
Bowe also said in his letter that he tried to escape on 12 different occasions, but said he was captured each time.
And severely beaten by his captors each time.
He also said that his captors told him numerous times during his 5 year captivity that they had just reached an agreement with the United States, so they were going to free him the next day . . . but instead, they threatened to execute him on the morrow.
In order to keep him in fear of imminent death.
