US-IDAHO-TOWN-AWAITS-RETURN-OF-TALIBAN-HOSTAGE-BOWE-BERGDAHL
HAILEY, ID - JULY 13: A sign hangs taped to the outside of a store window, one of the few public displays of support for freed Afghan POW Bowe Bergdahl remaining downtown in his hometown on July 13, 2014 in Hailey, Idaho. Yellow ribbons that lined Hailey's Main Street constantly for the nearly five years Bergdahl was held captive are now mostly gone as are most of the signs of support that appeared in the store windows along the street after the town learned of his release. The national euphoria following Bergdahl's release quickly faded as a bitter debate ensued over whether he had deserted his post and whether his freedom was worth the risk of swapping five high-level Taliban prisoners being held in U.S. custody at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. A celebration scheduled for June 28, in Hailey was cancelled over security concerns after the town received hundreds of complaints and threats of protest. Bergdahl, who has been getting help reintegrating to life after captivity at Fort Sam Houston in Texas, has not yet returned to Hailey. Scott Olson/Getty Images/AFP
