Details of captivity revealed
Still in hospitalized in a private room in Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, Bergdahl tells his medical team that his captors held him in a metal cage in total darkness for weeks at a time – as punishment for attempts at escape. While Bergdahl exhibits minimal physical disorders, inlduding skin and gum issues caused by poor nutrition, he is in good general physical condition. But until doctors and army officials determine that Bergdahl is emotionally fit, he is not yet permitted direct contact with his family or the press.
