FBI investigating threats against Bergdahl's parents

Bowe Bergdahl's parents haven't been seen in public since the Rose Garden ceremony announcing that he had been freed. Now we know why. Apparently Bob and Jani Bergdahl have received death threats--and they've been serious enough to trigger an FBI investigation.

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.

That may also explain why Bergdahl's hometown of Hailey, Idaho canceled a planned welcome-home parade.

I'm shaking with anger as I write this. At this point, it is grossly irresponsible to say Bergdahl is a deserter. But even if he was a deserter, death threats--whether against him or his parents--are completely unacceptable. Whoever is responsible for this is a bleepity-bleeping coward who needs to go to jail for a long, long time.

1. If the FBI catches these (this) deranged pos

I don't think it would hurt anyone's feelings if the feds beat him (likely) to a bloody pulp. Simply declare them enemy terrorists, go by bush era rules, and rid our once great land of this scourge.
I'm sorry. I'm just so damn angry right now, I can't think straight. I really don't mean what I said above. We are better than that and should act like it.

2. The people making threats deserve a very public humiliation, as well as jail.

Hope they are caught.
