Does Marie Harf want to question this guy's credibility?

Bergdahl's squad leader, that is:

"He didn't want anything to do with us anymore," says Gerleve.

Many soldiers in Bergdahl's platoon said attacks seemed to increase against the United States in Paktika province in the days and weeks following his disappearance.

"The attacks did get more direct, the IEDs did get more pinpoint to our trucks," said Gerleve. "I can't say for sure the leakage came from Bergdahl, but it's kind of that suspicion that it did happen."

Within days of Bergdahl's disappearance, former Army Sgt. Evan Buetow told CNN, teams monitoring radio chatter and cell phone communications intercepted an alarming message: The American is in Yahya Khel (a village two miles away). He's looking for someone who speaks English so he can talk to the Taliban.

Gerleve also heard the intercept, and says there is no doubt the message referred to Bergdahl.

"There was no other American out there, running around ... except for him on that day," says Gerleve.

This "swift boating" meme is going to be short-lived, I think.
