KABUL, Afghanistan - "This is a horrible act which exploits a young Soldier, who was clearly
compelled to read a prepared statement. It reflects nothing more than the
violent, deceitful tactics of the Taliban insurgency. To release this video on
Christmas Day is an affront to the deeply-concerned family and friends of Bowe
Bergdahl, demonstrating contempt for religious traditions and the teachings of
Islam. We will continue our search for Bowe Bergdahl as well as our efforts to
ensure the security of the Afghan people and our coalition partners," said U.S.
Navy Rear Admiral Gregory Smith, Director of Communication, NATO's International
Security Assistance Force - Afghanistan.
