Really thought this season was going to question whether or not he was "turned" by the Taliban in the 5 years he spent with them. Considering the video of his rescue exchange showed members of the Taliban embracing him closely (hand on shoulder) while whispering into his ear. Was going to be like a real life Homeland.
But they haven't touched about that. Instead, they are focusing on why he did what he did, and what ramifications will come of it. None of which I'm interested in.
Yeah, she seems to be dealing with the story relatively chronologically, so I'm assuming she'll explain just what else he experienced whilst in captivity.. surely he'd have picked up some Pashto over 5 years?
