FBI: Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's parents have received threats

Hailey, Idaho (CNN) -- The FBI is investigating threats against the parents of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the latest development in a case that has put the spotlight on the circumstances surrounding his capture in Afghanistan and release by the Taliban.

"We are working jointly with our state and local partners and taking each threat seriously," FBI Special Agent William Facer told CNN in an e-mail on Saturday.

Facer declined to detail the nature and severity of the threats, and a military spokesperson for the Bergdahls declined to comment.

Bergdahl's parents have not been seen publicly since the announcement last week that the soldier had been freed from five years in captivity at the hands of the Taliban in exchange for the release of five detainees at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.

remember the bulls eyes on candidates?

maybe when the whole damn thing just goes up in smoke. we're sick, as a nation, really sick, and i am reluctantly coming around to the belief that it will continue to get worse until it gets better, and for it to get better will take something quite radical and exceedingly painful. since we're run by cretinous psychopaths who apparently own the media along with the government.

Bowe and his parents do not deserve this! The haters club now sends death threats to the parents of a veteran and POW? WTF!



Thanks for posting this reprehensible behavior, spanone. Shame on them.

If it's 1955, entire country would rejoice and give Bowe a biggest parade in New York.

And for that matter, do you think it would matter to 'baggers if Obama pardoned him? No, it wouldn't. I'd guess it'd make things worse.

Seems like anyone in the news these days gets death threats. I wonder if they were less prevelant back when ya had to pay for a stamp instead of doing it via social media/internet. People can really suck.
