There is obviously something deeper to the Bergdahl prisoner swap that we are not being told but I haven't got a clue unless he was some kind of infiltrator.

This piece of news just surfaced about a western couple abducted "hiking outside of Kabul".  Their families were disappointed that they were not included in the prisoner exchange.

The couple is being portrayed as "naïve" but that is bunk.  The two were muslim converts and then this:

"Joshua Boyle was previously married to the sister of Omar Khadr, a Canadian man who spent 10 years at Guantanamo Bay after being captured in 2002 in a firefight at an al-Qaida compound in Afghanistan, but U.S. officials discount any link between that previous family tie and his capture. One called it a mere coincidence."

Canadians all know who Omar Khadr is.  He was 15 years old at the time of the Afghan invasion.  He was tried as a war criminal for acting in self defense during a firefight with American troops.  After 10 years in Gitmo, he is now held in a Canadian jail in complete contradiction of Canada's stance on child soldiers and our laws on juvenile crime but that's beside the point.

The point is that these are Khadr's in-laws.  They were in Afghanistan for a reason and that reason was not naiveté.

Were they spies/emissaries? They expected to be included in the Bergdahl exchange.  Why?
