Sick, pathetic People. When you have assholes like Hannity accusing his poor father of being Taliban, no surprise that low information idiots that they cater to with no brain cells are doing garbage like this. Hope the find them and they are caught and jailed for a long, long time.
Bowe Bergdahl: Emailed death threats are investigated
US authorities are investigating emailed death threats to the father of Bowe Bergdahl, the soldier released by the Afghan Taliban last week after five years in captivity.
Four threatening emails were being investigated, police told Reuters.
Meanwhile he is reported to have said that his captors locked him in a cage in total darkness for weeks at a time.
US opinion is divided as to whether he is a hero or a soldier who endangered his comrades by deserting his post.
On Thursday a welcoming party in the hometown of Sgt Bergdahl was cancelled.
The first of the four death threats was sent to Bob Bergdahl - Sgt Bergdahl's father - at his home near Hailey, Idaho, the town's police chief Jeff Gunter told Reuters.
He said that Mr Bergdahl received the first threat on Wednesday, the same day as a rally in Hailey celebrating Sgt Bergdahl's release was cancelled amid controversy over the circumstances of his release.
Mr Gunter said that the threatening emails were now being investigated by the FBI.
The authorities are reported to be providing security to Bob Bergdahl and his wife, Jani.
'Deteriorating health' The details of Sgt Bergdahl's capture in 2009 remain unclear.
Some of the soldier's former comrades say that he fell into Taliban hands after deserting his post in Paktika Province.
Critics of the deal - in which five Taliban prisoners in Guantanamo Bay were released in exchange - have alleged that six US soldiers were killed in the initial efforts to locate the missing man.
They say that 30 days' notice needs to be given to Congress before Guantanamo prisoners can be transferred.
President Barack Obama has defended his decision to go ahead with the prisoner swap.
Speaking in Brussels last week at the G7 summit he said that Sgt Bergdahl's deteriorating health was a "deep concern" and "we saw an opportunity and we seized it".
Details of Sgt Bergdahl's treatment at the hands of the Taliban have meanwhile been reported by the TNew York Times.
He is quoted as telling medical officials that his captors imprisoned him in a metal cage in total darkness for weeks at a time as punishment for trying to escape.
It also quoted doctors as saying that while he is physically able to travel from Germany he is not yet emotionally prepared for the rigours of being reunited with his family.

Emotional: Bob and Jani Bergdahl wept as they spoke of their love for their son in another press conference
The family was the center of controversy after Mr Bergdahl thanked Allah during the White House announcement about Bergdahl having been freed.
Conservative commentator and former Republican Congressman Allan West said Taliban was 'thrilled' by Mr Bergdahl's use of Arabic and that he had 'claimed the White House for Islam' by thanking Allah in his press conference with President Obama.
The father of the freed soldier - who former soldiers in his unit claim was a deserter - said he was speaking Arabic and Pashto because his son's English was poor after five years in captivity.
But conservative commentators accused him of giving the Taliban a priceless propaganda tool, with one saying extremist sources in Pakistan were delighted.
Mr Bergdahl spoke at the White House after 28-year-old Bowe - the only American prisoner of war in Afghanistan - was freed in exchange for five Afghan detainees held by the U.S.
Introduced by the President in the rose garden, he spoke mostly English with some Arabic and Pashto.
'I'd like to say to Bowe right now, who's having trouble speaking English, bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim,' he said.
'I'm your father, Bowe. The people of Afghanistan, the same.
'To everyone who effected this... throughout the whole of American government and international governments around the world, thank you so much.'
The Arabic phrase bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim appears prominently in the Koran and means 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful'.
Sara Carter, senior Washington correspondent for conservative news site TheBlaze, said her Taliban sources were 'thrilled' at the phrase being used.
She told TV commentator Glenn Beck: 'He definitely was, in a way, consecrating the area.
'He was reaching out. It's an Islamic phrase... And when I contacted my sources in Pakistan who have direct links with the Taliban, they were actually thrilled, the Taliban was actually thrilled that the father did this.'
