Bowe Bergdahl, captured in Afghanistan by the Taliban and held prisoner for nearly five years, was released to U.S. Special Forces on Saturday, with the exchange for the transfer of five detainees from the U.S. facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to Qatar.

In spite of extensive injuries, evidence of a severe beating and sex abuse, and her body being lit on fire, the U.S. Army deemed her case a "suicide". The Army, which has plenty of problems over sexual assault within its ranks, apparently didn't believe any of the injuries LaVena Johnson had suffered prior to her death were caused by a second person or persons. A simple fact when it comes to suicide, in addition to all of the evidence, is that statistically, black women are among the least likely groups to commit this act in the first place. http://salem-news.com/articles/january102009/radio_nation_1-10-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january102009/radio_nation_1-10-09.php Sat, 10 Jan 2009 11:48:00 PST The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) announced today that the remains of a U.S. serviceman, missing in action from the Korean War, have been identified and will be returned to his family for burial with full military honors.
