When Americans Are Abducted Overseas (with Jere Van Dyk) | CA #20

Jere Van Dyk is a Pulitzer-nominated journalist and U.S. Army Veteran.
While working as a correspondent for The New York Times, he was embedded with the Mujahideen during their fight with the Soviet Union. He returned to Afghanistan after 9/11 as a CBS News reporter, and in 2006 he became the only journalist to go up into the mountains near the Pakistan border to the site where U.S. Army Ranger, Pat Tillman, was killed. His professional journey took a turn in 2008 - he was traveling through the Tribal Areas of Pakistan, in its borderlands with Afghanistan, and was held captive for 45 days. The incident is recounted in his critically acclaimed book, "Captive: My Time as a Prisoner of the Taliban" ttps://www.amazon.com/Captive-Jere-Van-Dyk/dp/080508827X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
Years later, while researching links among the Haqqani Network, ISIS, the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and the Council on Foreign Relations, he returned to the area to find who was responsible for his kidnapping. This trip inspired his book, "The Trade: My Journey into the Labyrinth of Political Kidnapping." www.amazon.com/Trade-Journey-...

“I meet a lot of charlatans in this business” and now it’s run by them 😂

[@compassionalitism-_1]

Thank you.

[@HorseyChobunso]

This was a great episode. A side of a story you don't often get to hear. I wouldn't mind a 2-3 hour interview but I understand this is a difficult thing to relive.

[@jonnyduckhunter8821]

Great job Andy! Love hearing these stories from your guests!! Praying for you and your family!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@internet_internet]

Best episode yet.

[@garycoloradosprings3947]

Wow, what a history lesson! TY!!

[@MrCashewkitty]

Wow!

[@jcar1417]

I hope he writes clearer than he speaks, it’s a very interesting perspective but not the easiest to follow at times.

[@The_Red_Off_Road]

What an interesting story. I’m glad he was able to make it home

[@genore1993]

How in the hell did i not know about ironclad with andy stumpf? i freaking dig you podast man, didnt know you had another!

[@MarkPreston-if5mf]

Hey Andy, it's actually mujahedeen ... not muhajideen ☺ all love and respect

[@augustusanderson6949]

Tillman was murdered no if's &'s or buts about it!!💪

[@augustusanderson6949]

Why are comments being erased?

[@compassionalitism-_1]

Yes it is.

[@ajgambs44]

Was that Richard Gere?

[@zxDrew]

I didnt see any gerbil cages behind him. So no, i dont think so.

[@daveboon5992]

Like the people that hike in bad weather take No notice of advice then expect the Pros to get them home !! Narcissists & Stupid 😳

[@chaddaniel1989]

So did he trade his pat Tillman story for the story of being captured? I don't get it.

[@jonathanramos8414]

I mean what more can he say about pat tillman. They already made a documentary about him

[@chaddaniel1989]

[@chaddaniel1989]

They aslo made a documentary about Jamal Khashoggi the 95% true just to set the narrative and keep the 5% from coming out. But if you listen to the lawyer representing the family's of 9/11 suing Saudi Arabia the reason he was killed was a complete lie. He was killed because he was working with him to build there case and had information he would only give in person. I think the talk was at Cambridge University. So yes there can always be more. Be and information where.

[@no1fibersplicer525]

I thought this was hard to watch. Cause I felt like I couldn’t decide whether I liked him or not. I felt like he was trying to say it was our fault he got captured and not the talibans and then it was don’t blame my friends the taliban made them do it to the name dropping of presidents at convenient times. Yeah for the most part I felt like a guy that benefitted from being an American while blaming American for the situation he got himself in.

[@33479Leigh]

Then made a career off of being a so called “ political prisoner “🤡

[@darkhorse7022]

Straight out of the liberal mind set handbook. “ I’ll just stroll up a mountain path in Afghanistan and get a great story”. Perhaps just a little bit of critical thought and situational awareness could have prevented this whole debacle.

[@jackharle1251]

Which debacle? The one where we continue to fund, and then fight, groups around the World? Are you aware that Tillman was quite the fan of Chomsky and Mailer, not exactly GOP. This guy was willing to get info that our people could not. Perhaps you can tell me how, and why, the US invaded Iraq? Hijackers were Saudi and Egyptian. Perhaps we shouldn't trust either political party, nor big business.

[@33479Leigh]

💯! Exactly what I thought .. then expect America to rescue him 🙄
