WASHINGTON, June 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. had no choice but to rescue U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday in an interview with CNN.
"It would have been offensive and incomprehensible to consciously leave an American behind, no matter what, to leave an American behind in the hands of people who would torture him, cut of his head, do any number of things," Kerry said. "And we would consciously choose to do that? That's the other side of this equation. I don't think anybody would think that's an appropriate thing to do."
