The State Department allegedly told him that the exchange was to be a 5-for-1, in which only Bergdahl would be released. Frustrated about the inefficiency, and his scrapped initiative to secure the release of all six hostages, Amerine spoke to Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA). Western Journalism: “Hunter subsequently filed a complaint with the Pentagon’s Inspector General. His grievance stated that there was allegedly a questionable ransom that might have been paid for Bergdahl.” The Army allegedly retaliated, even looking to court-martial him .The Washington Post reports that the the Army Criminal Investigation Command won’t even admit to an investigation, let alone that it’s because of Amerine’s whistleblowing.
