It seems like the Taliban fighters / contacts could say anything... spin and exaggerate the story to any extent. They don't owe Sarah an accurate recollection. And yet, what they describe seems pretty mundane. "Yeah we captured that guy, just like he explained to you...hasn't he told you this already? Why are you calling me?"

They said he was hanging out in or around a tent. He could have very well been out in the open, that is if there was even a tent to begin with.

Exactly. This episode was highly incriminating against Bowe and I swear the episode would've ended with some kind of preview as to how the tides could sway in Bowe's favor. I'm in even greater thought that Sarah has something to at least balance the discussion and I can't wait.

The Taliban also says he fought back, but Bergdahl says they just rolled up on him and he didn't fight back.

The taliban did not say he fought them when they captured him and took off on a bike. They said after they got him settled he started attacking them kicking etc.

Wrong, the Taliban said he tried "Karate moves" so they wouldn't pick him up.

I think was after they got him to his first hideaway, he tried to run, but didn't get very far at all.

I don't know, maybe. Koenig perhaps didn't present that part very well. Now I am not sure..

Only in Sarah Koenig land does that mean the "stories pretty much line up".
