BLITZER: We're getting details about U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, the moments leading up to his disappearance in Afghanistan in 2009. Let's get to our Pentagon correspondent, Barbara Starr. What are you finding out, Barbara?</s>BARBARA STARR, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Quick update, Wolf. We are finding that the Army investigation report includes claims by Bergdahl he left the base in 2009 because he wanted to walk to the nearest U.S. military outpost in Afghanistan and report what he believed to be poor leadership, poor leader and discipline in his unit. He left the base to find outpost to report that. That's the claim in the Army investigation report of what Bergdahl has told investigators. This may be the first indication we have of the Bergdahl defense of what happened, why he left the base, why he says he left the base. Whether it proves to be valid, whether it proves to be any acceptable defense to the U.S. military justice system, which has now charged him with desertion, all of that remains to be seen in the legal proceedings against Bergdahl. We're hearing what his intent was. He felt poor discipline and poor order in his unit. He was walking to the next unit in the middle of Taliban country to try and report it. That's the claim -- Wolf?</s>BLITZER: And still, he was charged with desertion. A lot of people in the U.S. military didn't necessarily believe him. Much more coming up later today as well. Barbara, thank you. That's it for me. I'll be back at 5:00 p.m. eastern in "The Situation Room." For our international viewers, CNN "News Center" is coming up next. For our viewers in North American, "Newsroom" with Brooke Baldwin starts right now.
