Sen. Diane Feinstein Not Sure U.s. Soldier Bowe Bergdahls Life At Risk During Captivity - Ny D

Diane Feinstein dismissed the White Houses story of a Taliban death threat against Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl during tense negotiations to free the suspected deserter. No, I dont think there was a credible threat ... I have no information that there was, said the Senate Intelligence Committee chair in a taping of Bloomberg Televisions Political Capital With Al Hunt. Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Friday that shes actually unsure if Bergdahls life was ever in serious jeopardy during his five years in Afghanistan. Thats hard for me to tell, she said. I dont think that was ... a clear distinction in the briefing weve had. And theres no question he was debilitated. Theres no question that he was under stress.
