attack myself, that was the first thing i wanted to do. nobody would stop us from doing that. >> roy, i want to ask you, a taliban source has told cnn that the treatment of bowe bergdahl after there were these reports of torture and the shark cage, et cetera, wasn't quite perhaps what the reports seem to indicate, that instead he'd been given fruits and vegetables, that he was allowed to celebrate christmas and easter. does that sound like the kind of treatment, having been a prisoner yourself, that is realistic? >> no. that sounds ridiculous. i mean, we're talking about a gang here that's holding a human, like i was, and i was held in a cage. the food was terrible. you know, i don't know what kind of food he had, but to come out and say the hostage you're holding has been treated well, that's ridiculous to me.
