Teens Banned from Praying About the Third Temple-Ariel youth movement conference at the Western Wall denied entry over magnets with prayer for the Third Temple on them.By Shimon Cohen-First Publish: 6/1/2014, 8:50 PM-IsraelNationalNews

Discrimination against Jews at holy sites has reached new heights, the chairman of the Ariel Zionist youth movement told Arutz Sheva Sunday. Western Wall plaza security guards prevented a group of teenage girls from praying at the Wall Saturday, after finding that the Ariel group had wanted to pray for the building of the Third Temple, Nava Hershkovitz, Ariel girls' division chairman, revealed in an exclusive interview.Hershkovitz says that the whole incident took place during the 'Jerusalem Shabbaton,' a conference weekend which sees hundreds of teenage girls involved with the youth group stay by families in the Old City. Over a thousand participants were expected to attend, and the movement's leaders prepared magnets with the prayer as a welcoming gift, Hershkovitz said. The same magnets were given out during last year's ceremony, she noted - also at the Western Wall plaza.This year, however, the girls were stopped at the security checkpoint and told they could not enter the plaza with the magnets, which would have to remain at the barrier until the group left."The girls arrived at the security checkpoint," Hershkovitz recounted. "Usually security is less strict on Shabbat, but the guards told the girls they could not enter with the prayer magnets.""I arrived at the guard post and spoke to the security detail there, explaining that there is no [security] reason not to distribute the magnets," she continued. "They told me that the magnets are restricted as a general guideline and that they would be denied entry."Hershkovitz also noted that the guards asked her to go to police over the sudden policy change with a complaint, but she stated that she has lost faith in the Israeli Police and declined.The youth group leader noted that while the incident seems small, she is also wary of a system which dictates what to pray."Ultimately it's written in our siddurim [prayer books], but it gives us great pain that we could not distribute the prayer openly," she said. "They tell us that we can pray at the Western Wall, but then they watch carefully what we actually say there."

Terrorist Pardon Bill will be Debated in Security Cabinet-Prime Minister decides to have the inner cabinet discuss proposed law along with Shamgar Commitee report on prisoner releases.By Gil Ronen-First Publish: 6/1/2014, 2:38 PM-IsraelNationalNews

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu decided Sunday that instead of having the government vote on a bill that would make it possible for judges to prevent the release of terrorist prisoners, the bill would be discussed by the Diplomacy and Security Cabinet together with the recommendations of the Shamgar Committee on prisoner releases.The decision was reached following an opinion presented by Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein, who is also the Government's Legal Advisor.Jewish Home head, Economics Minister Naftali Bennett, was reportedly enraged by the decision not to vote on the bill, and according to Maariv-NRG, stormed out of the meeting after Netanyahu announced his decision. However, other reports say he was mollified when Netanyahu promised to bring the matter to the Diplomacy and Security Cabinet next week and said that he would support the bill there.Another reason for anger in Jewish Home is that, reportedly, there had been a deal between it and Yesh Atid, that the Jewish Home would allow a bill regarding the services of surrogate mothers for homosexual couples, and Yesh Atid would allow the terrorist pardon bill to pass in exchange. While the first bill passed, however, the second did not.The government had been expected to approve the law, which could prevent future mass releases of terrorists. Proposed by MK Ayelet Shaked (Jewish Home), it would allow a court to write into its sentence of a terrorist a clause that would prevent the President from signing off on his pardon in the future.If passed into law, the bill would change one of the country's Basic Laws, which effectively function as Israel's constitution. Under the Basic Law of the President of the State, passed in 1964, Israel's president has the power to pardon criminals. The new amendment would change this rule, preventing any convicted terrorist from being pardoned for his crimes if the court so decides.The bill has already garnered tremendous cross-party support: it was signed by members of Jewish Home, HaTnua, Likud, Yisrael Beyteinu and Kadima.The Shamgar report was commissioned years ago, during the captivity of soldier Gilad Schalit in Gaza. The Shamgar committee, headed by retired Supreme Court President Meir Shamgar, reached conclusions, but those conclusions were never made known to the public.The committee looked into how to conduct negotiations, and asked whether or not it was smart to even discuss the release of soldiers with terrorists. In addition, the committee's report discusses what Israel's “red lines” should be, and who should be in charge of negotiations over abducted Israelis, if they take place.The report recommends, among other things, centralizing all the efforts to free soldiers under the authority of the Defense Minister, and to avoid using government-sponsored special negotiators to discuss matters with terrorists. In addition, the report suggests avoiding giving “updates” about the status of negotiations. “Secrecy is an important part of our recommendations,” the report says. “It is better to leave to guesswork information about the status of kidnapped or missing soldiers, and not provide that information to groups that will use it in improper ways.”

Israel to withhold PA tax transfers ahead of unity announcment-Netanyahu convenes emergency meeting of top ministers ahead of expected announcement of new Palestinian government-By Adiv Sterman and AP June 1, 2014, 10:38 pm 1-The Times of Israel

As Ramallah readied to swear in a new unity government, top Israeli ministers moved Sunday night to nix any negotiations with the Palestinians and withhold some tax transfers, Israeli media reported.The decisions came as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an emergency meeting of his security cabinet, made up of eight senior ministers, to discuss Israel’s response to the formation of a Palestinian unity government backed by rival factions Hamas and Fatah.The unity government and a raft of new ministers are slated to be officially announced by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday.The cabinet members decided to discontinue any further negotiations with the PA as long as Hamas, considered a terror group, takes part in government affairs, Army Radio reported. The cabinet further ruled that Israel would reallocate some Palestinian tax money and use the funds to pay off the Authority’s debts to Israeli companies, according to the report.The cabinet also barred three Hamas ministers from attending Monday’s government swearing-in ceremony, according to Israel Radio.Although the formal line-up of the new government has not yet been made public, it has been pieced together by Abbas’s mainstream Fatah movement and Gaza’s Islamist Hamas rulers in line with a reconciliation deal inked in April.According to a draft obtained by AFP, the new government will have 17 ministers, five of them from Gaza, and will be headed by Rami Hamdallah who will also hold the interior portfolio.Azzam al-Ahmed, Fatah’s representative on reconciliation issues, said the swearing-in ceremony will take place at Abbas’s Muqata presidential compound at 1:00 p.m. on Monday.But in a sign of persistent tensions, Hamas has refused to confirm the date, citing an ongoing row over the fate of the Palestinian ministry for prisoners, as reports suggested it would be transferred to the responsibility of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO).Israel had reportedly warned Abbas that it would take punitive steps against the Hamas-Fatah alliance, despite Palestinian assurances that the new entity would be governed by non-political technocrats that will renounce violence and honor all peace agreements with Israel.On Saturday, Abbas said he would respond to any Israeli measures, though he did not elaborate.Abbas and his aides have said in the past that they might step up efforts to gain further international recognition of a Palestinian state. The United Nations General Assembly recognized such a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem as a non-member observer in 2012, but the PA put more applications for recognition on hold during nine months of peace talks that ended in April.Earlier Sunday, Netanyahu urged world leaders not to recognize the new Palestinian unity government, adding that such a body would promote violence and terrorism.“Hamas is a terrorist organization that calls for the destruction of Israel and the international community must not embrace it,” Netanyahu said at the weekly cabinet meeting.The prime minister’s comments set the stage for what is likely to be a hard-fought battle for international opinion in the coming weeks. The reactions of the European Union and United States, which send the Palestinians hundreds of millions of dollars in aid each year, will be critical in determining whether it can survive and whether Israel will be forced to deal with it.

The Palestinians have been divided between two governments since Hamas wrested control of the Gaza Strip from Abbas’ forces in 2007, leaving the president in charge only of autonomous areas of the West Bank.The rift is deeply unpopular among Palestinians, and presents a serious obstacle to establishing a Palestinian state. The Palestinians seek the West Bank and Gaza, along with East Jerusalem, for their state. Israel captured the three areas in 1967′s Six Day War.Repeated attempts at reconciliation have failed in the past, and officials reported last-minute haggling on Sunday. Khalil al-Haya, a top Hamas official in Gaza, said a disagreement over the Palestinian ministry for prisoners held by Israel threatened to delay Monday’s announcement.But both Palestinian factions now have incentives to finally repair ties.Hamas is in the midst of a major financial crisis due to a blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt, while Abbas is in need of an accomplishment following the collapse of peace talks with Israel in late April. Convinced that he cannot reach peace with Netanyahu, the Palestinian leader believes now is the time to get internal Palestinian affairs in order.A statement from Hamdallah’s office Sunday denounced Netanyahu’s call, saying it was part of a campaign intended to “cement the occupation by all means.”Since the Palestinian factions announced their intentions to reconcile in late April, Netanyahu repeatedly has condemned the plan, saying that even tacit backing from Hamas would make it impossible to deal with the new government.Israel and the West consider Hamas, which is sworn to Israel’s destruction and has killed hundreds of Israelis in suicide bombings and other attacks, a terrorist group. Even after the unity deal, Hamas will keep control over a significant arsenal and thousands of fighters in Gaza.In the past, Israel has applied financial pressure by withholding tens of millions of dollars in tax revenues it collects on behalf of the Palestinians each month. During a short-lived Palestinian unity government in 2006 and 2007, the West withheld international aid to the Palestinians because of Hamas’ participation.But it is not clear whether the international community will back his tough stance this time around. The US and European Union have signaled that they are willing to at least give the new Palestinian government a chance. The US and European Union are the largest donors to the Palestinians, providing hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Abbas’ government each year.Last month, the EU said it “looks forward to continuing its support” to the Palestinians if the new government commits to nonviolence and seeking peace with Israel.The US has said it will not make any decision until it sees the makeup of the government and sees its formal program.In the short term, Netanyahu may have a tough time isolating Abbas.Yoram Meital, chairman of the Chaim Herzog Center for Middle East Studies and Diplomacy at Ben Gurion University, said it was likely that the European Union and possibly the US would recognize the new Palestinian government.“The minute the world will recognize this government, that means not only unity between Hamas and Fatah, but also unity of the Palestinian land between the West Bank and Gaza,” he said.Nevertheless, he said the Hamas-backed government plays into Netanyahu’s hands, giving him and his hard-line coalition an excuse to argue that there is no peace partner on the Palestinian side — even at the expense of butting heads with world leaders.“His political interests are very clear: To survive as prime minister, to maintain the current government, the current coalition, and he doesn’t believe in any breakthroughs with the Palestinians,” Meital said.AFP contributed to this report.

Report: Kerry headed to Jordan this week for Abbas meet-US secretary of state to discuss Palestinian unity government, negotiations with Israel-By Times of Israel staff June 1, 2014, 11:43 am 6

US Secretary of State John Kerry is to meet this week in Jordan with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, according to a Jordanian newspaper report cited by Israeli media on Sunday.
According to Jordanian government sources, Kerry is to arrive in Amman on Wednesday to meet with Abbas and Jordanian officials, Jordanian paper Al-Arab Al-Yawm reported. The discussions will reportedly center on the recently announced Palestinian unity government and the suspended peace talks with Israel.It was not clear if Kerry would visit Israel during the visit, and the US State Department has not confirmed the trip.Gaza-based terror group Hamas and the Western-backed PLO, which is dominated by Abbas’s Fatah party, signed a surprise reconciliation agreement on April 23 to end years of bitter and sometime bloody rivalry. Under the terms of the deal, the two sides would work together to form an “independent government” of technocrats that would pave the way for long-delayed elections.Abbas said Saturday that the new government would be officially announced Monday in a Ramallah ceremony.Israel suspended peace talks with the Palestinians over the unity pact, saying it would not negotiate with a government supported by Hamas, which calls for Israel’s destruction. Israel has also reportedly said that it will suspend economic cooperation with the Palestinians over the pact, which could have grave financial ramifications for the PA.Also Sunday, Israeli government sources denied reports that new Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah was expected to travel to Washington for meetings with the Obama administration. According to the sources, Israel has been assured by Washington that no invitation has been extended to Hamdallah, contrary to Palestinian reports.The United States has said a unity government that includes Hamas, officially defined as a terror organization by the US State Department, would not help advance peace. Washington is still forming its policy toward the new political alignment.The recent failed round of Israel-Palestinian peace negotiations was heavily endorsed by Kerry, who made multiple visits to the region in an effort to bring the two sides to an agreement.AFP contributed to this report.

Netanyahu: PA unity government will ‘strengthen terror’-Ahead of official declaration of new Fatah-Hamas leadership, PM calls on international community to boycott Palestinian Authority-By Marissa Newman and AP June 1, 2014, 12:22 pm 10-The Times of Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday condemned the Fatah-Hamas unity government, the day before the slated announcement of its formation, and urged the international community not to recognize the new entity.“Hamas is a terror organization that calls for the destruction of Israel,” the prime minister said at the weekly cabinet meeting.“This [the unity government] will not strengthen peace; [rather] it will strengthen terror,” he said.Netanyahu appealed to “the responsible officials in the international community not to rush to recognize a Palestinian government that relies on Hamas.”Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Saturday the formation of a new Palestinian government would be declared Monday, adding that Israel already warned him it would take punitive steps against the new alliance.Abbas said Saturday that he would respond to any Israeli punitive measures, such as withholding the monthly transfer of some $100 million in taxes and customs Israel collects on behalf of his Palestinian Authority. The funds are vital to keeping the self-rule government afloat.The long-running Hamas-Fatah rivalry escalated in 2007 when Hamas seized the Gaza Strip from the internationally backed Abbas in 2007. Hamas, which has carried out scores of bombing, shooting and rocket attacks against Israeli civilians, is considered a terror group by Israel and the West.After the April collapse of US-mediated Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, the Palestinian rivals revived reconciliation efforts. Negotiators met repeatedly to agree on a government of technocrats backed by both sides that is to prepare for general elections in 2015. In recent days, there were last-minute disagreements.“The announcement of the government will be on Monday,” Abbas said during a meeting with several dozen pro-Palestinian activists from France. “The Israelis informed us today that they are going to boycott us immediately after we form the government.”“They are going to withhold our money,” he said, referring to the monthly transfers. “This is our money, not aid from Israel, and we will not stay silent. They want to punish us because we have an agreement with Hamas, which is part of our people.”In recent days, there were last-minute disagreements over the cabinet lineup, but Abbas suggested Saturday that the issues were resolved.Abbas said that “we are going to react to any Israeli action.” He did not elaborate. However, Abbas and his aides have said in the past that they might step up efforts to gain further international recognition of a state of Palestine. The United Nations General Assembly recognized such a state as a non-member observer in 2012.Palestinian officials have said a state of Palestine is eligible for membership in 63 international organizations, treaties and conventions. Last month, Abbas signed membership requests for 15 conventions, and his aides have said the Palestinians planned to sign up for more in several stages.Earlier Saturday, Hamas said it will not agree to the continuation of Palestinian security cooperation with Israel once it teams up with Abbas.A senior Israeli government official said the formation of a unity government “is a great leap backward,” but declined to say whether Israel would take punitive action.Abbas had been scheduled to announce the formation of the government on Thursday, but was forced to delay it after Hamas reportedly rejected his preferred appointment for foreign minister.“The government is ready, but there is only one problem, and that is that Fatah and Hamas reject Riyad al-Maliki as foreign minister, something Abbas is insisting on,” a Palestinian official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.A source close to Hamas said the Islamist movement wanted the post to be held by Ziyad Abu Amer, one of two deputy premiers currently serving under Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah.Hamas and the Western-backed PLO, which is dominated by Abbas’s Fatah party, signed a surprise reconciliation agreement on April 23 to end years of bitter and sometime bloody rivalry.The agreement gave them five weeks to set up a unity government which was to have been announced by May 28.

In Brussels, the first of the Syrian jihadis comes home to roost-If initial reports regarding Mehdi Nemmouche’s Syrian indoctrination are correct, then the Jewish Museum murders are ‘a sign of the future,’ Israeli expert says-By Mitch Ginsburg June 1, 2014, 7:07 pm 7-The Times of Israel

The Friday arrest of Mehdi Nemmouche, who allegedly murdered three people and left another brain-dead at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, marks the first time that a veteran of the Syrian jihad has come back to a Western country and put that struggle’s extremist ideology into action. But according to a former Israeli intelligence officer who has written extensively about the ripple effects of the jihad-influenced war in Syria, it will not be the last.“Assuming that the initial reports are correct, this is not a surprise, said Col. (res) Reuven Erlich, the director of the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terror Information Center. “I see this as a sign of the future. It is a phenomenon that will endure and increase.”Nemmouche, suspected of killing two Israelis and one Frenchwoman at the museum and mortally wounding a museum worker who is still hospitalized, was arrested Friday by French customs officials as he alighted from a bus that had traveled from Brussels to Marseille via Amsterdam. He was caught with a Kalashnikov assault rifle similar to the one used in the murder in Brussels and with a GoPro video camera like the one carried by the shooter.Officials in the US, Europe and elsewhere have raised alarm bells of the possible risks posed by returning fighters, bolstering law enforcement efforts to crack down on possible jihadis.Earlier this year, Erlich released a report warning that “the returning foreign fighters are a ticking time bomb, which can only be defused by international cooperation and joint systems to neutralize their terrorist-subversive potential.”Belgian Interior Minister JoĆ«lle Milquet was cited in the report as convening a December 2013 meeting of foreign ministers from Britain, France, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Australia, Canada and the United States in order to discuss “their influence on their countries of origin upon return.”

Erlich and the other researchers at the center, all veterans of the intelligence community in Israel, estimated that there were up to 2,100 Western fighters waging war in Syria, with Britain, France, and Belgium each providing hundreds of Islamist fighters. “The foreign fighters in the ranks of the Al-Nusra Front and Islamic State [of Iraq and Greater Syria] are a potential threat to international security,” the report stated. Some will return home and “continue their terrorist and subversive activities” on their own initiative; some “may be handled by al-Qaeda… exploiting the personal relationships formed in Syria”; and some, like the veterans of Afghanistan, may sow terror internationally, traveling with a Western passport, which raises fewer red flags.Erlich said in a phone interview that while the 5,000 fighters from Arab countries make up the heart of the al-Qaeda-affiliated groups in Syria, the Western-based fighters, often second- and third-generation immigrants from Muslim lands, are quickly integrated into the fighting in the brutal civil war, with many spending less than a month in training and then roughly half a year in combat before circling back to their homes.The European fighters return home inundated with Islamist ideology, intimately familiar with death and the weapons of war, and, he said, a ready-made potential network built around other returned fighters from the same European country.Nemmouche, 29, is from Roubaix, the city in northern France where the al-Qaeda-influenced Gang de Roubaix was formed in the mid-nineties, noted IDC Herzliya senior researcher Ely Karmon. That terror group was formed around a French convert to Islam, Christophe Caze, a medical student, who traveled to Bosnia, became radicalized, and returned to France with the intent of committing murder.In the immediate aftermath of the May 24 attack in Brussels, Karmon told The Times of Israel that he tended to doubt that Hezbollah was involved because Iran was unlikely to authorize a terror attack in Europe with the P5+1 nuclear talks moving into high gear, and because Hezbollah, were it to be implicated in such a high-profile strike, ran the risk of having not just its military wing outlawed in Europe – as happened in the aftermath of the 2012 attack in Burgas – but the entire organization.“There are in Belgium, and in France, which is just three hours away, enough Salafist elements,” he said at the time.Unwilling, however, to completely rule out Hezbollah involvement, he said Sunday that “the fact that the arrested guy was fighting in Syria in 2013 could lead to the possibility that he was recruited under a fake flag by Hezbollah,” much as was the case in a 2011 operation in which Hezbollah allegedly tried to subcontract the murder of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the US to a Mexican drug cartel.

Like a famous WWII Belgian General,Paul Henry Spock said in 1957:We need no commission, we have already too many. What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

A president for a more cultured Israel-If elected next week, Nobel laureate Dan Shechtman says he’d push for an educational and behavioral revolution, to mold a finer, fairer, calmer nation. This might be just what Israel needs, but it’s unlikely we’re going to get it-By David Horovitz June 1, 2014, 4:23 pm 4-The Times of Israel

Professor Dan Shechtman won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2011 for seeing something that everybody told him wasn’t there: crystals with a five-sided shape – “material with pentagonal symmetry.” He stood by his scientific conviction for 30 years, unwavering, before he was vindicated. He knew he was right and nobody was going to dissuade him.Shechtman is one of only two “outsider” candidates (with ex-Supreme Court judge Dalia Dorner) running for election next week to be Israel’s tenth president. In an interview in the small office made available to him as he campaigns among the electorate — the 120 members of parliament — he speaks of what he’ll do when he wins the race to succeed Shimon Peres, not if. He says firmly that he is the most worthy of the candidates, the one who would do the job best. Given his track record of persistence and vindication, of identifying what others fail to recognize, you might think it would be foolish to doubt him.Except that the presidency is not a Nobel-style meritocracy, selected by scientific process, where the most deserving will ultimately prevail. By its very nature, the battle for Beit Hanassi (the President’s Residence) is a sordid, secretive war. The man (or just possibly woman, in this case) who gets to host princes and popes, to pardon prisoners, to comfort the bereaved and try to unify the nation must first have unified a majority of this divided nation’s diverse, scheming, self-interested arliamentarians.The pre-election indications are that Shechtman has been unable to do any such thing. Opinion polls among the public — irrelevant surveys, given that the people of Israel whom the president serves for seven years have no say in the choice — consistently place Shechtman second only to (Likud) frontrunner Reuven Rivlin. But there has been no major outpouring of public enthusiasm, no mass demand for president Shechtman, no profound sense that this erudite, well-intentioned (if distinctly elevated and self-regarding) science master has connected.Inside the Knesset, it was a protracted, undignified, even humiliating struggle for him simply to obtain the 10 MKs’ signatures necessary to formally submit his candidacy. This is an affront that plainly rankles; Shechtman mentions the minor unfairness that requires a non-serving MK to gather 10 signatures while a serving legislator, who can nominate himself, requires only another nine. Every last endorsement, it would appear, was a trial. (In fact only three of his five rivals are sitting MKs — Rivlin; Labor’s Binyamin Ben-Eliezer and Hatnua’s Meir Sheetrit. The two women in the race — ex-MK Dalia Itzik (Labor/Kadima) and former Supreme Court justice Dorner — also had to muster 10 signatures.)

Moreover, even though Benjamin Netanyahu was desperate to thwart a Rivlin presidency — to the extraordinary extent of first seeking to abolish the entire office, and then risibly wooing the ineligible Elie Wiesel (who is not an Israeli citizen) — the prime minister emphatically did not alight on Shechtman as his salvation. On declaring his plans to run, the professor wrote a letter to Netanyahu saying he would like to work with him and would not wish to be a confrontational president; the Nobel laureate did not even receive the courtesy of a reply.In this interview, conducted in that small, temporary Knesset office, the outsider candidate explains why, in their secret ballot on June 10, MKs should put aside their narrow interests and recognize him as the contender Israelis could feel most proud of, the nominee who could best represent Israelis at home and abroad, the applicant with the clearest vision. He is cogent and passionate, notably on the imperative for an Israeli educational and behavioral revolution, to create a citizenry more learned, cultured and decent. (He frames some of these arguments in terms that strain the limits of political correctness, but then he’s not a politician.) He sets out admirable formulae for avoiding a partisan presidency. He highlights his unblemished personal life, sadly relevant given the failings of others in this regard. Facing a different jury — the familiar scientific evaluation — he’d have a compelling case. But with politicians…?
Shechtman starts our interview before I’ve asked him a question. I mention that a friend of a friend has been volunteering in his campaign, and he responds by noting that “I have a team of assistants, they are all volunteers. Out of principle, I am not spending money on this election – not a penny. I haven’t hired PR people.” The conversation then unfolds as follows:

The Times of Israel: And the other candidates are spending money?

Dan Shechtman: They hire PR people. I don’t. Just today, the spouses of the candidates, or their representatives, appeared on Channel 10. So they invited my eldest daughter, and she appeared there. Dalia Itzik sent an acquaintance of hers, who is a doctor, and someone else’s acquaintance was there as well. It’s strange.I’m proud of my family, very proud – I have ten grandchildren, four children, and one wife. Every one of them who is old enough can represent me. I have a granddaughter who is now in the army, she is 18 years old, who is very happy to represent me in every forum…

Let me ask you why and when you decided that it would be a good idea to run for this position?
The truth is that it didn’t come from me. When I heard about [the idea], I said oh, well, I’m not getting into it, my life is so good and my international reputation is so strong. Wherever I go in the world, I’m treated like royalty. If I accepted all the invitations, I would have to cram three years into every year. So what do I need this for? Then, people – acquaintances and friends – contacted me, and eventually I started to think that perhaps I could promote my ideas if I became president. After all, it’s easier to do so from that position than from the Technion. Eventually, I was contacted by a friend from my youth, who went to high school with me. His name is Moti Shmueli, and he used to be the CEO of Elta. He is also a Technion graduate, and we have the same background. He said, “I’m with you, I’ll help you.”Then I made up my mind, and I did two things: first of all, we called [journalist] Ayala Hasson and told her: “We want to make the announcement through you, on Channel 1 on television, because it’s the public channel.” Viewership was not a consideration – it doesn’t have a high viewership, but it’s the public channel. And I personally appreciate Ayala Hasson very much.That was the first thing. And I wrote a letter to the prime minister saying that I would like to work with him and that I wouldn’t be a confrontational president. But I never received a response to that letter, and the truth is that I never met with Netanyahu to talk seriously [about this], although I requested such a meeting several times.Ayala Hasson announced what she announced, and I, of course, appeared… That was how it all began.Now, why do I need all this? I really am sacrificing a lot for this position. Because [before I put my name down for it,] my life was so good that it’s hard to describe. But thinking strategically about where we would like to see ourselves 20-30 years from now, there are things that I believe have to be done right in this country.When my grandchildren are older and my great-grandchildren start growing up, first of all, I want them to be in Israel. I don’t want them to leave the country because they have no choice. In a minute, I’ll show you something that somebody wrote to me. I don’t want that to happen. That’s why they need to have a good future in Israel, to find life in Israel agreeable.(Shechtman later shows me a signed email from a father, who has heard him on the radio talking about ensuring an Israel our children will want to live in. The correspondent says he is writing “with tears in my eyes” since he and his two children are leaving the country next month, apparently because of economic hardship. “The Israel that I love and in whose army I served has forced me out,” he writes.)‘Our youth don’t know how to behave. In extreme cases, they are violent to the point of murder. And in the mild cases, they are simply rude – not because it is in their nature, but because they don’t know how cultured people behave’So what do we have to do so that people find it pleasant to live in Israel? There are a few things, and the State of Israel today doesn’t do enough in these areas. From the position of president, I could address these issues in a very practical way, through dialogue with ministers, MKs, and the general public.We have to ensure that it is pleasant to live here both in the social sense and the economic sense. In the social sense, we need to improve the education system. The Education Ministry doesn’t have a curriculum for education. It has curriculums for every subject – history, geography, Hebrew, bible, math. But there is no curriculum for education. So we are not educating the youth in a systematic way, and the result is that our youth don’t know how to behave. In extreme cases, they are violent to the point of murder. And in the mild cases, they are simply rude – not because it is in their nature, but because they don’t know how cultured people behave. They have to be taught how cultured people behave, starting from kindergarten.“You can’t steal your friend’s toy, you can’t do that.” [You have] to explain to them, slowly and good-naturedly, “Look, he’s your friend, isn’t he? Come, split [the toys equally] between you; he can have one toy and you can have another one. Or you can share, play with one toy together.”Start from kindergarten, then continue through elementary school, then high school, then the army. Don’t stop educating, even in the army. An education officer needs to educate. How can you turn a man into a mensch, a cultured person? Education.

And [we need] to mold people who will be social leaders, individuals who won’t allow injustice to take place. Individuals who will stop bullies in their tracks when they see them hitting other children. [To say,] “Your behavior is socially unacceptable, we don’t view it favorably. You can’t behave this way.” Not to respond with violence, but…By the way, my wife, who is a professor at the University of Haifa, is an international expert on various subjects related to education, such as the prevention of violence in schools. She really is a global expert. So that’s it — education, knowledge.Now, the second thing. Look, we have excellent universities here in Israel. But for a long time now, they haven’t been allowed to develop. Let me give you an example: Dozens of new faculty members are hired by the Technion each year. Natural attrition. The old ones leave, and the younger ones take their place. The cost of each new faculty member is close to $800,000. In other words, each year, the Technion spends $24 million just on new faculty members, of which the government contributes $4 million. It barely helps us! What’s $4 million out of $24 million? To cover the rest, we have to find donations. We rush around the world — the president of the Technion rushes around the world — to solicit donations that will enable him to hire faculty members who, at the end of the day, are about to serve the State of Israel! I would expect the Israeli government to support [the universities] in a much more substantial way. Now, you have to explain these things. I, as president, would be able to explain it very well, both to the government and the Finance Ministry: Overall, we need to make people aspire to pursue, to march, to be led towards higher education.Now, there has been a significant decrease in the past year in the number of kids choosing to take the [most challenging] five-point matriculation (bagrut) exam in math. There was a discussion in the Knesset about it a few days ago. It’s a 30 percent decrease… a veritable collapse. Those who don’t learn math at the five-point level have no chance of acquiring a high-income technological profession. They won’t be able to become IT professionals, engineers, scientists, doctors.We need to ensure that talented students take the five-point matriculation exams in math, chemistry, physics, and English. English, as you know, is very important for interacting with the world. We have to make sure that these things happen.Next, I would like to tell you that it is the man who makes the position. Me as president would not be like anybody else as president. Everyone does the job differently. I think we have an excellent president, Shimon Peres, who has an outstanding international reputation. He’s well-known around the world, he’s well-respected around the world, and he radiates positively on Israel.I’m not Peres. I have a completely different agenda. However, I think I’m worthy of stepping into his big shoes, certainly when it comes to representing Israel abroad. I’ve been doing that for many years. In the last two and a half years, I’ve been doing it on a massive scale. I deliver 100 major lectures a year all over the world, all by invitation, with the organizers paying all my expenses. I’m very well-liked by Israeli embassies abroad. Sometimes, when I travel to a country and the [Israeli] ambassador knows that a function is to be held that evening, he will invite me, ask me to deliver an address and direct me to the podium to speak to the attendees. And I come.In the last two and a half years I have met ten heads of state. Some of them I only met ceremonially, but with others I sat and spoke for a long time about various political issues or matters that they were interested in. Such was the case with the presidents of Croatia, Slovenia, Ecuador, and a host of other presidents. There were others like Obama that I met with only ceremonially, shook hands with. But with most of them I had conversations. The president of Kosovo, which Israel doesn’t recognize – you know, the Serbians are invaders, and Israel won’t recognize it. But she’s a nice woman overall…‘Everyone wants to be able to make ends meet with the salary they earn, and even to have something left over at the end of the year for travel – maybe to Italy’I think I can have an impact. Look, I place my reputation and international prestige in the service of the State of Israel.So that’s it, that’s what drives me: I want my children and grandchildren and my great-grandchildren to want to live here, in this country. I want living here to be pleasant for them, and I believe I have the ability to bring about change in a number of very important and vital areas. I will be a proactive president, but not a confrontational one. I want to work with the government. If there is any way I can assist the government on the policy issue of the peace talks, I will happily make myself available in order to move this very important matter forward.

But not to lead the peacemaking process?

Of course not! That is the prime minister’s job. I’m not going to lead any diplomatic process. I’ll gladly help, but I don’t intend to lead it, and I won’t put my own agenda at the top of the [state's] priority list. I believe it’s not right for a president to do that. But on domestic, internal Israeli issues – look, I’m looking for the common denominator. What is the common denominator? Everyone wants better education for their kids. Everyone wants a higher salary. Everyone wants to be able to make ends meet with the salary they earn, and even to have something left over at the end of the year for travel – maybe to Italy.Turning to religion, a very sensitive subject both domestically and between Israeli and Diaspora Jewry. Do you have any expertise in this subject? Look, I believe that every Jew can define himself as he sees fit. I don’t think an ultra-Orthodox Jew is any better than a Conservative Jew, or a Reform Jew, or a totally secular Jew. If someone defines himself as Jewish, whether or not he is Israeli, and ensures that the next generation is Jewish, that’s exactly what we need.But that’s not how it works in the State of Israel (where there is an Orthodox monopoly on life-cycle events). So that’s a political statement of sorts.I don’t think so. It’s a social rather than a political observation. Look, you can make any topic political. Once it’s discussed in the public sphere, it becomes political. Well, I’ll do my utmost to avoid controversy. I’m looking for what unifies the people. I want it that when people turn on the TV and see me appear as president of the country, they’ll say, “How wonderful That’s us. There we are.”‘Wasn’t Katzir better than Katsav?’I want our children to be better educated, more knowledgeable, more moderate, calmer, more sociable.You are an out-of-house candidate. People might say, we already had a president who wasn’t a political veteran and that didn’t turn out too well, and that you have to have extensive political experience to make that transition…Of course that’s been said to me. Look at [first-time MKs, ministers and party leaders] Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid. What political experience did they have [before they got elected]? But they’re not running for the presidency.Look, there are people whose characteristics make them very well suited to the presidency, even if they don’t have experience. There are people who were elected president and their personal attributes were unsuitable to begin with, even though they might have had ample political experience. Is that what matters most? What does it have to do with anything? Wasn’t (fourth president, biophysicist Ephraim) Katzir better than (eighth president Moshe) Katsav (currently in jail for rape)? It’s just inconsequential nonsense. Ultimately you need a person with vision, which I am, with a clear idea of where we want to go, with enough cultured behavior running through his veins.‘I speak with the people of Israel more than all the MKs. I take the train, you know? I sit and talk to people’I don’t need to learn these things, I don’t need to learn how to talk to people. I talk to people from all over the world and to everyone in Israel. I speak with the people of Israel more than all the MKs. I take the train, you know? I sit and talk to people. I don’t have my own driver, and I take my own car very rarely. I like riding the train, I like meeting the people. I purchase a ticket for a reserved seat, and we sit quietly and talk. I am given a random ticket, without knowing who I’ll be sitting next to. So I sit and talk to them. By the way, the public’s warmth towards me is fantastic.So you decided to run. It wasn’t easy to get the endorsements…“It wasn’t easy” is an understatement. It was difficult to get the signatures. Not just for me, but for most of the other candidates, except for Rivlin and Fuad (Ben-Eliezer) and perhaps Sheetrit, who was immediately backed by [party leader] Tzipi Livni.By the way, an MK only needs nine endorsements (because he can endorse his own candidacy).Yes, it was slightly harder for you. How did that feel — a serious candidate, with a global reputation, liked by the public, and you had so much trouble getting the 10 endorsements? Those who make a statement by openly endorsing me have different considerations than those who vote behind a screen. Every man has to face his conscience.

So you don’t see it as an indication of things to come on June 10?

Of sparse support? Absolutely not. Before you came in, a very respected MK was sitting where you are now. And we had a very serious and meaningful conversation. I don’t know if he will support me or not, but at least… Look, several MKs came up to me, some of the leading MKs in this house, and said to me, “Now that you have the 10 signatures, let’s talk.”Previously, they didn’t know what would happen. “What if we support you and you are booted out of the race? Everyone will mock us.” Now they say, “Now that you have ten signatures, let’s talk.” And they do it with big smiles.You speak as if you know you are going to become president.Yes, exactly.Based on what? Based on broad support from MKs behind the screen (of the voting booth). And indications I have received that this is what will happen.‘I certainly don’t think there is someone who can better represent the State of Israel in front of the spearheads of the delegitimization campaign against Israel, which originates in the universities’You mean that in two weeks I will say ‘oh, he was right’? I hope so! I’m not given to fantasizing, I calculate. I hope that it will happen. It should happen. If I fail big-time, I’ll be very surprised.

How would you define failure?

If I don’t reach the second-round run-off (between the two leading candidates, if nobody gets over 50% in the first round). I hope that won’t happen.Do you believe you are more worthy than the other candidates? Yes. I respect them all, I’m not belittling their capabilities. When I meet them in the Knesset, we sit together quite amicably. We also knew each other before [the presidential race] – it’s not that we just met yesterday morning. More than that, I’m genuinely fond of some of the candidates. But I don’t think there is anyone among them of whom the citizens of Israel could be more proud, in terms of their activities within Israel, than myself. I don’t think any of them are more active than I am. And I certainly don’t think there is someone who can better represent the State of Israel in front of the spearheads of the delegitimization campaign against Israel, which originates in the universities.I appear at those universities and I tell those people, “What you are doing is wrong. You are saying things that are just not true. Israel is a functioning democracy. There’s no such thing as apartheid. I don’t even know what this combination of letters means. Of course not! The only place in the Middle East where Arabs enjoy full equality and democracy is the State of Israel.”The demonization grew out of the Palestinian aspect….I get asked two kinds of questions: about the Arab Israelis, and about the Palestinians. Not everybody knows the difference …About Arab Israelis, let me tell you an anecdote. I was in Lund, a city in southern Sweden. I delivered a lecture there. I delivered lectures in every university in Sweden … In Lund, there was a great crowd, a full house, with people standing wherever there was room just to hear me speak. One said, “What’s going on with your Arabs there? What’s happening?” And I said, “Thank you very much for asking me. Now tell me, do you have minorities in Sweden?” They said, “Yes, a Finnish minority.” I said, “How big.” They said, “About 10 percent.” I said, “Is Finnish an official language in Sweden?” They said, “Of course not.” I said, “We have a 20 percent Arab minority, and Arabic is an official language, even though all the Israeli Arabs speak Hebrew.” I said, Do you have affirmative action programs for your minorities in education, for advancement of women’s rights?” They said, “No.” I said, “We do. And we ensure full equality… An Arab judge, Salim Jubran, put the president of the State of Israel [Katsav] in prison,” I said to them.As for the Palestinians, I tell them, “Look. The matter is being handled by the Israeli government. I don’t delve into matters of war and peace. That is the government’s role, and I will support my government.”The prime minister didn’t even bother to respond to your letter…Well, he must have been busy… I’ll have to meet and speak with him, which I will happily do. We know each other, we aren’t strangers. He knows me well, I know him well.Good relations? Absolutely. We have mutual respect for one another.

7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

SECOND ANGEL TO DR DOCTORIAN
I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full of blood. I saw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear weapons used in many of those countries. Smoke rising from everywhere. Sudden destruction - men destroying one another.I heard these words, Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment has come.The angel said, The chosen, the church, the remnant, shall be purified. The Spirit of God shall prepare the children of God. I saw fires rising to heaven. The angel said, This is the final judgment. My church shall be purified, protected and ready for the final day. Men will die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for water in those countries.The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest.

Posted on 05:12 PM, May 15, 2014-By Richard Ingham and Anthony Lucas, AFP-A future of thirst: Water crisis lies on the horizon-Business Week weekender

PARIS -- The next time your throat is as dry as a bone and the Sun is beating down, take a glass of clean, cool water.Savor it. Sip by sip.Vital and appreciated as that water is, it will be even more precious to those who will follow you.By the end of this century, billions are likely to be gripped by water stress and the stuff of life could be an unseen driver of conflict.So say hydrologists who forecast that on present trends, freshwater faces a double crunch -- from a population explosion, which will drive up demand for food and energy, and the impact of climate change.“Approximately 80% of the world’s population already suffers serious threats to its water security, as measured by indicators including water availability, water demand and pollution,” the Nobel-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned in a landmark report in March.“Climate change can alter the availability of water and therefore threaten water security.”Already today, around 768 million people do not have access to a safe, reliable source of water and 2.5 billion do not have decent sanitation.Around a fifth of the world’s aquifers are depleted.Jump forward in your imagination to mid-century, when the world’s population of about 7.2 billion is expected to swell to around 9.6 billion.By then, global demand for water is likely to increase by a whopping 55%, according to the United Nations’ newly published World Water Development Report.More than 40% of the planet’s population will be living in areas of “severe” water stress, many of them in the broad swathe of land that runs along north Africa, the Middle East and western South Asia.Yet these scenarios do not take into account changes in rainfall or snowfall or glacier shrinkage caused by global warming.

WETTER OR DRIER
As a very general rule, wet countries will get wetter and dry countries will get drier, accentuating risk of flood or drought, climate scientists warn.But whether people will heed their alarm call is a good question.“When seismologists talk about an area at risk from an earthquake, people generally accept what they say and refrain from building their home there,” says French climatologist Herve Le Treut.“But when it comes to drought or flood, people tend to pay less attention when the warning comes from meteorologists.”Water squabbles in the hot, arid sub-tropics have a long history. In recent years, the Tigris, Euphrates and Nile have all been the grounds for verbal sparring over who has the right to build dams, withhold or extract “blue gold” to the possible detriment of people downstream.“There will clearly be less water available in sub-tropical countries, both as surface water and aquifer water, and this will sharpen competition for water resources,” says Blanca Jimenez-Cisneros, who headed the chapter on water for the big IPCC report.Citing a 2012 assessment by US intelligence agencies, the US State Department says: “Water is not just a human health issue, not just an economic development or environmental issue, but a peace and security issue.”Rows over water between nations tend to be resolved without bloodshed, often using international fora, says Richard Connor, who headed the UN water report.However, “you can talk about conflict in which water is the root cause, albeit usually hidden,” he told AFP.“It can lead to fluctuations in energy and food prices, which can in turn lead to civil unrest. In such cases, the ‘conflict’ may be over energy or food prices, but these are themselves related to water availability and allocation.”Failing a slowdown in population growth or a swift solution to global warming, the main answers for addressing the water crunch lie in efficiency.In some countries of the Middle East, between 15 and 60% of water disappears through leaks or evaporation even before the consumer turns the tap.Building desalination plants on coasts in dry regions may sound tempting, “but their water can cost up to 30 times more than ordinary water,” notes Jimenez-Cisneros.Efficiency options include smarter irrigation, crops that are less thirsty or drought-resilient, power stations that do not extract vast amounts of water for cooling, and consumer participation, such as flushing toilets with “grey” water, meaning used bath or shower water.Above all, the message will be: don’t waste even a single drop.- See more at: http://www.bworldonline.com/weekender/content.php?id=87449#sthash.YE9mSx4q.dpuf

Drought Declared in the Negev; Farmers to Receive Compensation-Farmers to receive compensation for poor crop yield; sections in the North also affected.By Yedidya Ben-Or-First Publish: 6/1/2014, 4:15 PM-IsraelNationalNews

Finance Minister Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid) signed the recommendations of a Joint Committee on Droughts - headed by the Finance Ministry, the Tax Authority, and the Ministry of Agriculture - to declare an official drought in the Negev Sunday, as well as some isolated areas in the North. The edict will go into effect late Sunday, after the official announcement is released. The Joint Committee made the decision after checking the most affected agricultural regions in the country, officials said. The Committee measured the quantity and quality of crops and estimated losses incurred by farmers.The aforementioned areas were hit hardest regarding some of the more vulnerable plants - wheat, barley, clover, peas, chickpeas (hummus), safflower oil (canola), and oats. Farmers growing these crops will be compensated.The compensation, amounting to an estimated 10 million shekel (2.9 million dollars), is considerably lower than the 100 million shekel compensation offered in previous years. The compensation will be paid for loss in production and loss of potential revenue.Farmers who have not yet filed an application for compensation can do so within the next 30 days, the Committee said, using a form on the Tax Authority website.

ROLLING STONE ORIGINAL STORY WHAT I GOT ON HERE
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/americas-last-prisoner-of-war-20120607?page=2


The mother and father sit at the kitchen table in their Idaho farmhouse, watching their son on YouTube plead for his life. The Taliban captured 26-year-old Bowe Bergdahl almost three years ago, on June 30th, 2009, and since that day, his parents, Jani and Bob, have had no contact with him. Like the rest of the world, their lone glimpses of Bowe – the only American prisoner of war left in either Iraq or Afghanistan – have come through a series of propaganda videos, filmed while he's been in captivity.In the video they're watching now, Bowe doesn't look good. He's emaciated, maybe 30 pounds underweight, his face sunken, his eye sockets like caves. He's wearing a scraggly beard and he's talking funny, with some kind of foreign accent. Jani presses her left hand across her forehead, as if shielding herself from the images onscreen, her eyes filling with tears. Bob, unable to look away, hits play on the MacBook Pro for perhaps the 30th time. Over and over again, he watches as his only son, dressed in a ragged uniform, begs for someone to rescue him."Release me, please!" Bowe screams at the camera. "I'm begging you – bring me home!"

My Decade of bin Laden, by Michael Hastings

Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl arrived in Afghanistan at the worst possible moment, just as President Barack Obama had ordered the first troop surge in the spring of 2009. Rather than withdraw from a disastrous and increasingly deadly war started by his predecessor, the new commander in chief had decided to escalate the conflict, tripling the number of troops to 100,000 and employing a counterinsurgency strategy that had yet to demonstrate any measurable success. To many on Obama's staff, who had been studying Lessons in Disaster, a book about America's failure in Vietnam, the catastrophe to come seemed almost preordained. "My God," his deputy national security adviser Tom Don­ilon said at the time. "What are we getting this guy into?" Over the next three years, 13,000 Americans would be killed or wounded in Afghanistan – more than during the previous eight years of war under George W. Bush.Bowe's own tour of duty in Afghanistan mirrored the larger American experience in the war – marked by tragedy, confusion, misplaced idealism, deluded thinking and, perhaps, a moment of insanity. And it is with Bowe that the war will likely come to an end. On May 1st, in a surprise visit to Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, President Obama announced that the United States will now pursue "a negotiated peace" with the Taliban. That peace is likely to include a prisoner swap – or a "confidence-building measure," as U.S. officials working on the negotiations call it – that could finally end the longest war in America's history. Bowe is the one prisoner the Taliban have to trade. "It could be a huge win if Obama could bring him home," says a senior administration official familiar with the negotiations. "Especially in an election year, if it's handled properly."Bowe Robert Bergdahl was born in Sun Valley, Idaho, on March 28th, 1986 – the same day as Lady Gaga, as his parents like to point out. Bob and Jani had moved to Idaho from California after college, building a small, two-­bedroom home on 40 acres of farmland not far from the small town of Hailey, deep in the mountains of Wood River Valley. His father worked construction, his mother odd jobs, living the life of ski bums, nearly off the grid. In 1983, the year Bowe's older sister Sky was born, his parents pulled in $7,000 and paid off the hospital bills for her birth with weekly $20 deposits.Rather than put their kids in the local school system, Jani and Bob home-schooled Bowe and his sister. Devout Calvinists, they taught the children for six hours a day, instructing them in religious thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine. "Ethics and morality would be constant verbiage in our conversations," his father recalls. "Bowe was definitely instilled with truth. He was very philosophical about perceiving ethics."

By the age of five, Bowe had also learned to shoot a .22 rifle and to ride horses. He developed a love for dirt bikes and immersed himself in boy's adventure tales – anything that had to do with sailing and the ocean – as well as cartoons. His favorite was Beetle Bailey, the comic-strip antihero who shambles through life in the Army as a permanent f----up.By the time he was 16, Bowe had grown restless with his home-schooling – and his parents. He began to explore the wider world, and became obsessed with learning how to fence. At a nearby fencing studio, which also offered ballet classes, he was recruited by a beautiful local girl to be a "lifter" – the guy who holds the girl aloft in a ballet sequence. He soon moved in with the girl, whose family owned a tea shop in Ketchum, and made it his second home. The matriarch of the household, Kim Harrison, introduced him to Buddhism and Tarot cards. Bowe repaid his new family by doing construction work on their home. "To me, it was the normal path teenagers take," says Bob. "Like going to college – you get into all this stuff."At 20, Bowe went even farther afield in search of the kind of boy's adventure that had mesmerized him for years: He decided to join the French Foreign Legion, the infantry force made up of foreigners who want "to start a new life," as the legion's recruiting website puts it. He traveled to Paris and started to learn French, but his application was rejected. "He was absolutely devastated when the French Foreign Legion didn't take him," Bob says. "They just didn't want an American home-schooled in Idaho. They just said no way." Bowe pored over a survival and combat handbook written by a former member of the British special forces, and he gravitated toward the TV show Man vs. Wild, hosted by another legendary British soldier. "This became his role model," his father says. "He is Bear Grylls in his own mind."Returning home from Europe, Bowe drifted for the next few years, working mainly as a barista at Zaney's, a local coffee shop in Hailey. But he kept dreaming of ways to pursue something bigger. In 2008, he spoke to a family friend who was working as a missionary in Uganda about going over to Africa to teach "self-defense techniques" to villagers being targeted by brutal militias like the Lord's Resistance Army. He and his father even fantasized about the creation of a special ­operations unit to "kill these f---s" in Africa, imagining that "someone needed to run an op with some military people dressed up like U.N. people" to take out warlords in Darfur and Sudan. Before a spot in the friend's missionary program could open up, though, Bowe had decided on a different adventure.One day that spring, Bowe called his mother. "Mom, I need to talk to you and Dad about something," he said. He stopped by the house that Saturday, when his father was home from work."I'm thinking about joining the Army," Bowe told his parents."You're thinking about joining?" his father asked. "Or you already signed on the dotted line?"

"Well, yeah," Bowe admitted.

Bowe's mother wished he had enlisted in a different branch, like the Navy, that wouldn't have put him on the ground in Iraq or Afghanistan. His father did what he always did with his son's dreams. "I just tried to be supportive," Bob says.But what Bowe found in the Army, according to his parents, was a "deception" – one that started from the moment he was recruited. Bowe had been enticed to join the Army, they say, with the promise that he would be going overseas to help Afghan villagers rebuild their lives and learn to defend themselves – "the whole COIN thing," says Bob, citing the shorthand for America's strategy of counterinsurgency. "We were given a fictitious picture, an artificially created picture of what we were doing in Afghanistan."After 16 weeks of training, Bowe graduated from infantry school in Fort Benning, Georgia, in the fall of 2008. While others in his training unit – A Company 2-58 – used their weekend passes to hit up strip clubs, Bowe hung out at Barnes & Noble and read books. He was already an expert shot from his days firing his .22 in the mountains of Idaho. When his parents attended the graduation, the drill sergeant told them, "Bowe was good to go when he got here." After completing the course, Bowe was assigned to the 25th Infantry Division in Fort Richardson, Alaska, not far from Anchorage. He arrived in October 2008.At first, according to soldiers in his unit, Bowe seemed to embrace Army life. "He showed up, looked like a normal Joe," says former Specialist Jason Fry, who is now studying for a master's in theology. "When he first got to the unit, he was the leadership's pet. He read the Ranger Handbook like no other. Some people resented him for it." Bowe kept to himself, doing physical training on his own. "He never hung out with anyone, always in the background, never wanted to be in front of anything," says Fry. He surrounded himself with piles of books, including Three Cups of Tea, about a humanitarian crusade to educate girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well as instructions on Zen meditation and an introductory ethics handbook with writings from Aristotle, Augustine, Kant and Hume.

After a month in Alaska, Bowe and his unit embarked for the National Training Center in Southern California to prepare for war. The NTC is a massive military installation in the Mojave Desert where real life combat situations are simulated under the most difficult conditions, often in extreme heat. It was a brutal experience for the platoon, and Bowe's unit struggled from the beginning. "The first week is incredibly stressful," a second lieutenant in the unit, Stephen Fancey, wrote on his blog. "I get overworked to the point where I start to get sick with a fever."In his blog posts, which have since been removed from the Web, Fancey detailed a unit that seemed to have almost no discipline. The company's first sergeant, Fancey wrote, "calls the Captain a quitter, then calls me a quitter. Picture a 2nd LT screaming at a 1SG, who is screaming back in broken Puerto-Rican-fied English, and about 5 Privates sitting quietly in terror." As the combat simulations continued, the sergeant's behavior grew even more disturbing. He refused to go to the bathroom, preferring to pee into a Gatorade bottle by his bed, and he obsessed over his desire for a Diet Coke. After one botched operation, according to Fancey's blog, the first sergeant just gave up. "I need a Coca-Cola," he said. Then, upset at how screwed up the operation had become, he tore off his body armor and stormed off to his tent, screaming, "F-- 'dis 'chit!"Bowe's behavior, too, seemed odd at times. Fry remembers hearing "all kinds of crazy stories about him." He often came across more like a boy on an adventure than a soldier preparing for war. "My buddy was on an op, pulling guard duty," says Fry, recalling a joke that Bowe played. "Bergdahl was sneaking up on him like he was practicing techniques for the Battle of Wanat, on the other side." The U.S. base at Wanat, a remote village in Afghanistan, had been overrun by the Taliban four months earlier, leaving nine Americans dead and 27 wounded. It was one of the most deadly battles since the start of the war.Bowe earned the nickname "SF," short for Special Forces – but it wasn't a compliment. "He loved pipe tobacco, didn't drink, smoke cigarettes," says Fry. "He did it more for the look." Fancey, now a captain stationed in North Carolina, recalls Bowe as "quiet. He wasn't one of the troublemakers – he was focused and well-behaved." While other soldiers spent Thanksgiving at the NTC playing PSP and reading Playboy, Bowe sat alone on his cot, studying maps of Afghanistan. He was also made a SAW gunner, responsible for providing automatic firepower for the squad, and he did exercises with his cumbersome 15-pound machine gun as though he were curling weights at the gym. "We saw him, and were like, 'Whoa, Mr. Intensity,'" says Fancey.By the time the monthlong training session ended, the platoon was so notorious for screwing up that it had become a convenient scapegoat. At the firing range one day, another company failed to bring ammunition, and Bowe's unit took the flak. "We were heckled and blamed for not being prepared," Fancey wrote. "All said and done, NTC was an eye-opener and a bit of a disappointing one, at that."It was also a disappointment to Bowe. He had entered the Army for the adventure, as a substitute for the French Foreign Legion, and here he was, shackled to a bunch of goof-offs. Bowe told Fry he didn't think the other soldiers in the unit were competent to fight. "He wanted to be a mercenary, wanted to be a free gun," says Fry. "He had a notion he was a survivalist, claimed he knew how to survive with nothing because he grew up in Idaho. He had stories of him doing crazy shit out in the woods for weeks in Idaho."Over Christmas that year, Bowe went home to Hailey for the last time. He talked to his father and gave him his last will and testament. "He wanted to be buried at sea," his father recalls. "Typical. It's just this figment of his imagination. That's how he was seeing himself. This kid, from when he was 18, was hanging out with the elite. That's where his habits came from. He was living in a novel."Returning to Alaska after Christmas, Bowe said something that would stick with Fry months later, long after they arrived in Afghanistan. "Before we deployed, when we were on Rear D, him and I were talking about what it would be like," Fry recalls. Bowe looked at his friend and made no bones about his plans. "If this deployment is lame," Bowe said, "I'm just going to walk off into the mountains of Pakistan."In March 2009, Bowe's platoon arrived in Paktika, a province in eastern Afghanistan. Located on the border of Pakistan, the region is a stark landscape of imposing mountains and crushing poverty. According to the Army, 99 percent of Paktika is rural, and only six percent of households have access to electricity. The violence brought by the war has been equally extreme, with some 134 soldiers – including famed NFL player Pat Tillman – losing their lives in the province since the beginning of the conflict.By that spring, when Bowe's unit arrived, the entire U.S. policy in Afghanistan appeared to be in chaos from the top down. President Obama had just fired Gen. David McKiernan, replacing him with Gen. Stanley McChrystal, and there was no longer a clear strategy in place.The prolonged aspect of the war was also forcing the Pentagon to send more and more recruits who were unprepared and undisciplined, like Bowe's unit. To meet its recruiting goals, the Army had lowered its standards for intellectual aptitude, and allowed more waivers for recruits with felony convictions and drug problems. "One of every five recruits required a waiver to join the service, leading military analysts to conclude that the Army has lowered its standards," Col. Jeffrey McClain wrote in a definitive study for the Army War College in 2008, the year many in Bowe's unit joined up.

Bowe's platoon of some 25 men – under-manned by more than a third – was sent to a small combat outpost called Mest-Malak, near the village of Yaya Kheyl, where they were supposed to conduct counterinsurgency operations, attempting to win the local population over to the side of the Americans. Bowe had a serious staph infection in his leg, so he arrived at the outpost late. With his customary zeal, he'd been preparing for the deployment by learning how to speak Pashto and reading Russian military manuals. Almost as soon as he joined his fellow soldiers, he began to gravitate away from his unit. "He spent more time with the Afghans than he did with his platoon," Fry says. His father, recalling that time, would later describe his son to military investigators as "psychologically isolated."The discipline problems that had plagued Bowe's unit back home only got worse when immersed in the fog of war. From the start, everything seemed to go wrong. In April, Lt. Fancey was removed from his post for clashing with a superior officer. He was replaced by Sgt. 1st Class Larry Hein, who had never held such a command – a move that left the remote outpost with no officers. According to four soldiers in the battalion, the removal of Fancey was quickly followed by a collapse in unit morale and an almost complete breakdown of authority.The unruly situation was captured by Sean Smith, a British documentary filmmaker with The Guardian who spent a month embedded with Bowe's unit. His footage shows a bunch of soldiers who no longer give a shit: breaking even the most basic rules of combat, like wearing baseball caps on patrol instead of helmets. In footage from a raid on a family compound, an old Afghan woman screams at the unit, "Look at these cruel people!" One soldier bitches about what he sees as the cowardice of the Afghan villagers he is supposed to be protecting: "They say like, the Taliban comes down and aggravated­ their town and harasses them... Why don't you kill those motherfuckers? All of you have AKs. If someone is going into my hometown, I know my town wouldn't stand for that shit. I'd be like, 'Fuck you, you're dead.'" Another soldier laments, "These people just want to be left alone." A third agrees: "They got dicked with by the Russians for 17 years, and now we're here."During the middle of May, Bowe went out on one of his first major missions. He described it in a detailed e-mail to his family dated May 23rd, 2009. What started as an eight-hour mission, Bowe recounted, ended up taking five days.While another unit was setting up a night ambush in the mountains, an MRAP – the $1.5 million armored vehicle designed to protect soldiers from the roadside bombs being used by the Taliban – got hit with an IED. Bowe's platoon was deployed to escort a tow truck to get it down off the mountain. But on the way to escort the truck, an MRAP in Bowe's own platoon was hit by an IED. The unit found itself stuck in the mountains for four days, guarding the wreckage while their commanders debated whether to fly in the parts needed to fix the vehicles. Some of the time, Bowe wrote his family, was spent near a village that "was not too friendly to Americans" because it had been attacked by the Taliban. "So the elders were telling us to leave," he reported, "because the taliban was there, and we couldn't leave because command finely decided that they would fly in the parts (one MRAP needing a new engine) and would rebuild the MRAPs up there."Once the MRAPs were finally fixed, the unit started to leave the mountains, only to be hit by yet another IED – the third of the mission – and to come under a blistering attack from rocket-propelled grenades. "It was at the point that the guys where beginning to climb into the trucks that the first RPG hit about 30m away from them," Bowe recounted, "and then the RPKs and the AKs began to splatter bullets on us, and all around us, the gunners where only able to see a few of them, and so where firing blindly the rest of the time, up into the trees and rocks. The .50 went down on the first shot on the truck i was in, and i had to hand up my SAW for the gunner to use. I sat there and watched, there was nothing else I was allowed to do."No soldiers were killed in the ambush, but Bowe blamed the screw-up on his superiors: "Because command where too stupid to make up there minds of what to do," he wrote, "we where left to sit out in the middle of no where with no sopport to come till late mourning the next day." He concluded his e-mail with a nod to the absurdity of the situation: "The end of the 8 hour mission that took five days, and so here i am. But Afghanistan mountains are really beautiful!"Over the next month, as he saw more of the war firsthand, Bowe's e-mails to his family lost their sense of absurdity and took on a darker edge. In one heartbreaking incident at the end of May, an Afghan official and four of his children were killed in a Taliban attack. The bodies were moved to Bowe's outpost, along with a wounded Afghan police officer.In early June, after photographs taken by Sean Smith appeared in The Guardian, Bowe's unit got reamed out by its commander for its lack of discipline. Bowe's squad leader, Sgt. Greg Leatherman, was demoted, and two other sergeants in the squad were reassigned. According to Fancey, one was made "a gate guard for the rest of the deployment." As often happens in the Army, senior officers were going unpunished for screw-ups like the MRAP mission, while lower-ranking men paid the price for minor infractions.The unit, for its part, continued to bungle even the most basic aspects of military duty. During the last week of June, the platoon spent a day resupplying at Forward Operating Base Sharana. When someone in the unit lost his weapon, everyone in the platoon had to drop what they were doing and look for it. To make matters worse, on an earlier trip to Sharana, 10 members of the platoon had been poached to pull guard duty at another base, leaving the unit even more undermanned than usual.
PAGE 4
Then, on June 25th, Bowe's battalion suffered its first casualty of the deployment. A popular officer, 1st Lt. Brian Bradshaw, was killed in a blast from a roadside bomb near the village of Yaya Kheyl, not far from the outpost. Though Bradshaw was in a different company, the 24-year-old's death rocked the unit, shattering the sense of invulnerability that accompanies those who have just arrived in country. Bowe's father believes that Bradshaw and Bowe had grown close at the National Training Center, and his death darkened his son's mood. It was all too much for Bowe. On June 27th, he sent what would be his final e-mai­ to his parents. It was a lengthy message documenting his complete disillusionment with the war effort. He opened it by addressing it simply to "mom, dad.""The future is too good to waste on lies," Bowe wrote. "And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong. I have seen their ideas and I am ashamed to even be american. The horror of the self-righteous arrogance that they thrive in. It is all revolting."The e-mail went on to list a series of complaints: Three good sergeants, Bowe said, had been forced to move to another company, and "one of the biggest shit bags is being put in charge of the team." His battalion commander was a "conceited old fool." The military system itself was broken: "In the US army you are cut down for being honest... but if you are a conceited brown nosing shit bag you will be allowed to do what ever you want, and you will be handed your higher rank... The system is wrong. I am ashamed to be an american. And the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools." The soldiers he actually admired were planning on leaving: "The US army is the biggest joke the world has to laugh at. It is the army of liars, backstabbers, fools, and bullies. The few good SGTs are getting out as soon as they can, and they are telling us privates to do the same."In the second-to-last paragraph of the e-mail, Bowe wrote about his broader disgust with America's approach to the war – an effort, on the ground, that seemed to represent the exact opposite of the kind of concerted campaign to win the "hearts and minds" of average Afghans envisioned by counterinsurgency strategists. "I am sorry for everything here," Bowe told his parents. "These people need help, yet what they get is the most conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid, that they have no idea how to live." He then referred to what his parents believe may have been a formative, possibly traumatic event: seeing an Afghan child run over by an MRAP. "We don't even care when we hear each other talk about running their children down in the dirt streets with our armored trucks... We make fun of them in front of their faces, and laugh at them for not understanding we are insulting them."Bowe concluded his e-mail with what, in another context, might read as a suicide note. "I am sorry for everything," he wrote. "The horror that is america is disgusting." Then he signed off with a final message to his mother and father. "There are a few more boxes coming to you guys," he said, referring to his uniform and books, which he had already packed up and shipped off. "Feel free to open them, and use them."On June 27th, at 10:43 p.m., Bob Bergdahl responded to his son's final message not long after he received it. His subject line was titled: OBEY YOUR CONSCIENCE! "Dear Bowe," he wrote. "In matters of life and death, and especially at war, it is never safe to ignore ones' conscience. Ethics demands obedience to our conscience. It is best to also have a systematic oral defense of what our conscience demands. Stand with like minded men when possible." He signed it simply "dad."Ordinary soldiers, especially raw recruits facing combat for the first time, respond to the horror of war in all sorts of ways. Some take their own lives: After years of seemingly endless war and repeat deployments, active­duty soldiers in the U.S. Army are currently committing suicide at a record rate, 25 percent higher than the civilian population. Other soldiers lash out with unauthorized acts of violence: the staff sergeant charged with murdering 17 Afghan civilians in their homes last March; the notorious "Kill Team" of U.S. soldiers who went on a shooting spree in 2010, murdering civilians for sport and taking parts of their corpses for trophies. Many come home permanently traumatized, unable to block out the nightmares.Bowe Bergdahl had a different response. He decided to walk away.In the early-morning hours of June 30th, according to soldiers in the unit, Bowe approached his team leader not long after he got off guard duty and asked his superior a simple question: If I were to leave the base, would it cause problems if I took my sensitive equipment? Yes, his team leader responded – if you took your rifle and night-vision goggles, that would cause problems.Bowe returned to his barracks, a roughly built bunker of plywood and sandbags. He gathered up water, a knife, his digital camera and his diary. Then he slipped off the outpost.
PAGE 5
Bowe might have spent his childhood hiking in the mountains of Idaho, but the terrain he now faced was nothing like back home. To get to Pakistan, he would first have to descend some 1,500 feet from the mountain outpost and skirt the village of Yaya Kheyl, a town known for harboring Taliban. At that hour, there would be few people on the main road through Paktiki, dubbed "Route Audi" by U.S. forces. But as dawn broke, a stream of motorbikes and pedestrians would start to pass by. Alone, white-skinned and likely wearing his Army uniform, Bowe would have stood out immediately.If Bowe made it through town, the next step would be even more daunting: He would have to slog eight miles through deep sand so fine that soldiers called it "moondust." If he was lucky, he might pick up a path used by Kuchi nomadic tribesmen to bring their sheep to market. Along the way, Bowe would pass grave sites: tall stacks of rocks marked by bright flags. Then he'd be forced to climb back up the switchbacks to Omna, where his platoon had been bogged down on its first major mission, traverse the Bermel Plateau, and once again scale mountain peaks to cross the border into Pakistan.At 9:00 that morning, the acting platoon leader, Sgt. 1st Class Larry Hein, called in over the radio to report a missing soldier. According to sources in the battalion, this was the last thing Hein needed, given all the scrutiny the unit had been under. The men needed a break. Instead, they had to find a member of their platoon. "That was a shitty week for all of them," says one soldier in the unit.By 11:37 a.m., a Predator drone was on station, monitoring the area with a call sign of VOODOO. At 2:10 p.m., a Pathfinder and a team of tracking dogs arrived at the small outpost. Five minutes later, another Predator drone began circling the area. At 2:42, Guardrail – an electronic intercept plane run by the same clandestine Army agency that killed Pablo Escobar – captured low-level voice intercepts picked up from radio or cellphone traffic. An American soldier with a camera was reportedly looking for someone who spoke English.The search quickly escalated. No one knew whether Bowe was a deserter,­ a prisoner or a casualty. At that point he was simply listed as DUSTWUN – short for "Duty Status: Whereabouts Unknown." But either way, the Army wanted him back, fast. At 4:42 that afternoon, Col. Michael Howard, the senior officer responsible for three eastern provinces in Afghanistan, ordered that "all operations will cease until the missing soldier is found. All assets will be focused on the DUSTWUN situation and sustainment operations."Within an hour, two F-18s were circling overhead. Afghan forces passed along intelligence that a U.S. soldier had been captured by the Taliban. By that evening, two F-15s – call sign DUDE-21 – had joined the search. A few minutes later, according­ to files obtained by WikiLeaks, a radio transmission intercepted by U.S. forces stated that the Taliban had captured­ three civilians and one U.S. soldier. The battalion leading the manhunt entered and searched three compounds in the area, but found nothing significant to report.
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."The next day, American forces had a chance to free Bowe. The battalion operations officer, call sign GERONIMO 3, met with two tribal elders from the nearby village. The elders had been asked by the Taliban to arrange a trade with U.S. forces. The insurgents wanted 15 of their jailed fighters released, along with an unidentified sum of money, in exchange for Bowe. The officer hedged, unwilling or unable to make such a bargain, and no deal was struck. Instead, the Army ordered all units stationed in the eastern half of Afghanistan – known as RC East, in military jargon – to join the search for Bowe.On July 4th, the search effort got a break: Bowe was spotted in a village in Ghazni, about 15 miles across the mountains to the west. He was wearing khaki, with a bag covering his head, and he was being driven in a black Toyota Corolla, escorted by three to five motorcycles. But by the time troops arrived to investigate, it was too late. That was the last time that Bowe would be seen until the first propaganda video, released later that month.
PAGE 6
Over the next few months, Bowe's unit would be consumed with trying to find him. When Fancey, Bowe's former platoon leader, heard the news at the base where he had been reassigned, he couldn't believe what had happened to his former private. "I was like, 'What? You're joking, right?' The next few weeks, it was like we were in a movie. It was like, this shouldn't be real."Back in Idaho, on the afternoon of June 30th, Bowe's mother, Jani, heard her dog Rufus barking. The gate to the driveway was closed. On the other side stood a pickup truck flanked by three men in Army uniforms. They were from the Idaho National Guard, and they'd driven down from Boise."Oh," she thought. "Why are they standing there?" Then the panic struck. "No, no, no," she thought. "He just got there."Jani approached the men. "What do you want?" she asked."Is your husband home?" they replied. "Do you have anybody home with you?"She asked what they wanted."We can't tell you," they said.She told them her husband didn't have a cellphone, so she called UPS, where Bob has worked for 28 years. Then UPS texted him on their internal message system. Bob met Jani and the three officers in the parking lot of the UPS depot, about 10 miles from the Bergdahls' home."It's not the worst news," an officer told the couple. "As of this morning, they told me your son has been listed as DUSTWUN. There was a 100 percent accountability muster this morning. Your son is off post. He's missing." Bob got back in his truck and finished his UPS route. It was only another couple of hours, he said, and there was no one around to replace him.During the first week of Bowe's capture, his parents believed he would be rescued. "We thought they'd get him quickly," Jani recalls. His name hadn't been released publicly, and the couple had only told their close family about his disappearance. At their daughter's Fourth of July party a few days later, they told their friends that Bowe was missing and that it was about to come out in the media. On July 7th, after Bowe's name was officially released, the national press descended on Hailey, gathering at Zaney's, the coffee shop where Bowe had worked.It wasn't long, though, before his parents began to grow frustrated by how the government was treating them in the midst of the ordeal. The Army, they felt, was subtly pressuring them not to speak to the press, and they were required to sign a nondisclosure agreement with the National Security Agency in order to view classified and top-secret material. In addition, Bob believes the military began monitoring their phones in case the kidnappers called – standard procedure in a hostage situation, but one that also enabled the U.S. military to keep tabs on the family.Things soon got worse. Ralph Peters, an action-thriller writer who serves as a "strategic analyst" for Fox News, took to the air to condemn Bowe as an "apparent deserter." The Taliban, he declared, could save the United States on "legal bills" by executing him. Horrified by such comments, Bob and Jani told their military liaison that they didn't want the Army to mount an operation to rescue Bowe, fearful that he'd be killed – either by accident, or even on purpose, by an aggrieved soldier or the U.S. military itself. There have certainly been soldiers who have joined the drumbeat of hatred against Bowe: A recent Facebook post from one soldier in his unit called for his execution. Worried that any further public attention might put Bowe at greater risk, his parents decided to remain silent, releasing a statement to their local newspaper asking the press to respect their privacy.In what appears to be an unprecedented move, the Pentagon also scrambled to shut down any public discussion of Bowe. Members of Bowe's brigade were required to sign nondisclosure agreements as part of their paperwork to leave Afghanistan. The agreement, according to Capt. Fancey, forbids them to discuss any "personnel recovery" efforts – an obvious reference to Bowe. According to administration sources, both the Pentagon and the White House also pressured major news outlets like The New York Times and the AP to steer clear of mentioning Bowe's name to avoid putting him at further risk. (The White House was afraid hard-line elements could execute him to scuttle peace talks, officials involved in the press negotiations say.) Faced with the wall of official silence, Bob and Jani began to worry that the Pentagon wasn't doing all that it could to get their son back. As Bowe's sister, Sky, wrote in a private e-mail: "I am afraid our government here in D.C. would like nothing better but to sweep PFC Bergdahl under the rug and wash their hands of him."The first propaganda video of Bowe surfaced in July 2009. It was eventually followed by three others – the most recent from May of last year. Mullah Omar, the spiritual leader of the Taliban, released a statement in September 2010 claiming Bowe as a prisoner – an example, he said, of America's "humiliation and disgrace."The videos show a steep decline in Bowe's appearance and mental health. In the first two videos he displays a measured calm, a kind of doped-out serenity that is missing from the most recent installments. Each is typical jihadist propaganda, using Bowe to recite lines criticizing American foreign policy. Intelligence reports suggest that Bowe was moved into Pakistan sometime in late 2009 or 2010, where he is being held by the Haqqani network, an insurgent group with links to Al Qaeda that has joined the Taliban in fighting the U.S. presence in Afghanistan. It's also a group that, before the attacks of September 11th, was funded by the CIA. The network, which now has ties to the Pakistani government, is likely living under the protection of the Pakistani intelligence service, as Osama bin Laden and other top Al Qaeda leaders did for years.Bowe's parents believe that he has been moved repeatedly to avoid the constant drone strikes along the Pakistan border, and is possibly being kept close to high-level leaders of the Haqqani network. For his part, Bowe does not appear to be a willing hostage. Last year, in August or September, he reportedly managed to escape. When he was recaptured, he put up such a struggle that it took five militants to overpower him. "He fought like a boxer," a Taliban fighter who had seen Bowe told Sami Yousafzai, a Newsweek reporter with legendary contacts among the Taliban. According to Yousafzai, sources among the militants say that Bowe is now "kept shackled at night" and is being moved back and forth across the border to keep his position from being discovered.The Pentagon insists that it is "doing everything possible" to get Bowe home, and a large photo of the captive soldier hangs in CENTCOM headquarters, a daily reminder to those working to free him. Last year, according to officials close to the negotiations, Bowe's name took center stage during peace talks with the Taliban. The negotiations are being handled by an interagency team comprised of representatives from the State Department, the Defense Department and the White House, who have traveled to Germany and Qatar to meet with the Taliban. (One of Obama's top advisers on national security, Denis McDonough, has been intimately involved in the talks.) In return for Bowe, U.S. officials have offered to swap five of the 3,000 Afghan prisoners being held by American forces. At least one of those prisoners, according to a senior U.S. official familiar with the talks, is more or less a moderate. "I've seen the files, and it's slim," says the official. "Things like, he used to meet with Iranian officials when he worked in the government of Herat. That's nothing."Officially, Bowe remains a soldier in good standing in the United States Army. He has continued to receive promotions over the past three years, based on his time in uniform, and he now holds the rank of sergeant. Unofficially, however, his status within the military is sharply contested. According to officials familiar with the internal debate, there are those in both Congress and the Pentagon who view Bowe as a deserter, and perhaps even a traitor. As with everything in Washington these days, the sharp political discord has complicated efforts to secure his release."The Hill is giving State and the White House shit," says one senior administration source. "The political consequences­ are being used as leverage in the policy debate." According to White House sources, Marc Grossman, who replaced Richard Holbrooke as special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, was given a direct warning by the president's opponents in Congress about trading Bowe for five Taliban prisoners during an election year. "They keep telling me it's going to be Obama's Willie Horton moment," Grossman warned the White House. The threat was as ugly as it was clear: The president's political enemies were prepared to use the release of violent prisoners to paint Obama as a Dukakis-­like appeaser, just as Republicans did to the former Massachusetts governor during the 1988 campaign. In response, a White House official advised Grossman that he should ignore the politics of the swap and concentrate solely on the policy."Frankly, we don't give a shit why he left," says one White House official. "He's an American soldier. We want to bring him home."

The tensions came to a boil in January, when administration officials went to Capitol Hill to brief a handful of senators on the possibility of a prisoner exchange. The meeting, which excluded staffers, took place in a new secure conference room in the Capitol visitor center. According to sources in the briefing, the discussion sparked a sharp exchange between Senators John McCain and John Kerry, both of whom were decorated for their service in Vietnam. McCain, who endured almost six years of captivity as a prisoner of war, threw a fit at the prospect of releasing five Taliban detainees."They're the five biggest murderers in world history!" McCain fumed.Kerry, who supported the transfer, thought that was going a bit far. "John," he said, "the five biggest murderers in the world?"McCain was furious at the rebuke. "They killed Americans!" he responded. "I suppose Senator Kerry is OK with that?"McCain reluctantly came around on the prisoner exchange, according to those present at the meeting, but he has continued to speak out against negotiating with the Taliban. Opposition has also come from Sen. Saxby Chambliss, a Republican from Georgia who won election with a vicious smear campaign against former Sen. Max Cleland, a decorated Vietnam veteran who lost three limbs in the war. Chambliss, according to Bowe's father, has insisted that America shouldn't make a prisoner trade for a "deserter."Some top-level officials within the administration, including Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, are very wary about making a swap for Bowe. "Panetta and Hillary don't give a shit about getting him home," says one senior U.S. official involved in the negotiations. "They want to be able to say they COINed their way out of Afghanistan, or whatever, so it doesn't look like they are cutting and running." (Both Clinton and Panetta, by law, would have to sign off on any exchange.) As with Vietnam, many in the military are resisting any attempt to end the war. "Even after Robert Bales" – the Army staff sergeant charged with massacring 17 Afghan civilians in March – "they are making the argument that the war is turning a corner," says this official. "They don't realize that the mission is changing. We don't need all those U.S. soldiers there anymore."Those in the Pentagon who oppose the prisoner exchange have insisted that the deal would send the wrong message to America's enemies. "The Pentagon is making the argument that American soldiers would become targets for kidnapping," says a senior administration official. "We pushed back on that. They already are – the Taliban and Al Qaeda have been using their resources to kidnap Americans for years." Prisoner exchanges take place at the ground level all the time in Afghani­stan, and Gen. David Petraeus, now the head of the CIA, has pointed out in discussions about Bowe that U.S. forces made distasteful swaps in Iraq – including one involving Qais Khazali, a Shiite extremist who orchestrated the kidnapping and execution of four U.S. soldiers in Karbala in 2007. Even a hard-line Israeli nationalist like Benjamin Netanyahu has recognized the value of a single soldier: In October, the prime minister agreed to free 1,027 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of Gilad Shalit, an Israeli corporal who had been held captive by Hamas for five years. The move was overwhelmingly supported by the majority of Israelis. "The Israelis really care about the value of one life," says a senior U.S. official. "Does the American public?"Despite the objections to the swap, U.S. officials involved in the negotiations this winter say they were on the verge of completing the deal to free Bowe. The White House had worked up talking points about Bowe, and was ready to go public about the exchange. (According to administration officials, the Pentagon insisted that the talking points note that Bowe had walked off base, to underscore that U.S. soldiers are not an easy target for kidnapping.) But at the last moment, the Taliban themselves balked at the deal, which stipulates that the detainees would not be allowed to leave the country of Qatar after their release. In March, faced with internal opposition over cutting a deal with the Americans, the Taliban abruptly suspended the peace talks. "Bowe Bergdahl has been a topic in any meeting we ever had with the Taliban," says a senior State Department official involved with the negotiations. "The Taliban suspended the talks on March 15th. We have not been in any contact with them since."In a sense, Bowe represents a threat to anyone who wants to see the war continue – be they Taliban militants or Pentagon generals. Once the last American POW is released, there will be few obstacles standing in the way of a negotiated settlement. "It's the hard-liners on both sides who want to keep this thing going," says a White House official. "The Taliban is struggling with its own hard-liners. They need space, and this confidence-building measure could give them space."There is still hope that a deal could get done – a hope that persists in the White House, in Bowe's old unit, and among Bowe's family. Over Memorial Day weekend, Bob and Jani Bergdahl traveled to Washington, D.C. A POW-advocacy organization called Rolling Thunder had asked Bob to give a speech at the group's annual gathering at the National Mall, the famous park across from the U.S. Capitol that hosted some of the most powerful anti-war demonstrations of the Vietnam War. The parents accepted the invitation out of desperation. Bob has considered going over to Pakistan – he's grown a bushy beard, and he has sent his own YouTube video, directed at the Taliban, asking for his son's release. "I'll talk to them," he says. "I'll bring him home myself."Bob and Jani had thought they might meet the president during their trip to Washington, but that didn't happen. Instead, Bob took to the microphone to speak directly to America, and, perhaps, to his son. In front of the podium crouched a man in a bamboo tiger cage, a symbolic piece of theater the organization presents each year to remind everyone of prisoners of war from another era."My son is not in a cage, but he is in chains," Bob said. "Bowe, if you can hear me, you are not forgotten, and so help me God, we will bring you home. Your family has not forgotten you, your hometown has not forgotten you, Idaho has not forgotten you, and thanks to all the people here, Washington, D.C., will not forget you."When he was finished, he grasped the hand of the man in the tiger cage. The man looked startled. It seemed like a long time since anyone had stepped forward to acknowledge he was there.Matthew Farwell, a former soldier who deployed to Afghanistan, contributed additional reporting to this story.This is from the June 21st, 2012 issue of Rolling Stone.Read more: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/americas-last-prisoner-of-war-20120607page=7#ixzz33cuJpiJd
