Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: American Captured Soldier Bowe Robert Bergdahl "plea to his government"

He said in today's video that he was being well treated and allowed to move around and exercise before showing his fitness by doing some push-ups and squats.

"I am a prisoner. I want to go home ... Every day I want to go home. The pain in my heart to see my family doesn't get any smaller. Release me. Please I'm begging you, bring me home. Bring us all home back to our families."

"It's not worth the amount of lives that have been wasted in prisons, Guantanamo Bay, Bagram, all those places where we are keeping prisoners."

At the end of the video, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid says the militants were demanding the release of a limited number of prisoners in exchange for Bergdahl.
