‘Left, Right & Center’: The Bergdahl Exchange, Dowd Gets Baked
Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other "Left, Right & Center" panelists consider whether the homecoming of Army Sgt.

Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other “Left, Right & Center” panelists consider whether the homecoming of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl signals that the Taliban is going to be part of home rule in Afghanistan. Additionally, job numbers are like they’ve been for what seems like forever: slow, steady, but still feeling awfully soft, and New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd got baked in Colorado.
Scheer is joined by Josh Barro of The New York Times in the center and Matthew Continetti, editor-in-chief of The Washington Free Beacon, on the right.
