Raw Story Pentagon furious over call for execution of captured soldier

 

According to NBC?s top Pentagon correspondent, the Department of Defense is furious with Fox News analyst Ralph Peters, who said on July 19 that the Taliban should murder 23-year-old Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl, captured after he strayed from his post, to save the Army ?legal hassles and legal bills.? Peters, a well-known Neoconservative and frequent Fox News guest, attempted to clarify his shocking statement on Tuesday night?s O?Reilly Factor, telling right-wing host Bill O?Reilly he believes that Bergdahl had ?deserted? his unit and deserved no sympathy. He did not apologize. O?Reilly added that Bergdahl must be ?crazy.?

However, Wednesday night MSNBC?s Rachel Maddow fired back, interviewing Jim Miklaszewski, NBC?s top Pentagon correspondent, who said the Department of Defense is furious with Peters and Fox News, adding there is no evidence that Bergdahl is a deserter
