A former Green Beret who told Fox News in 2016 that he killed a suspected Taliban bomb maker nearly a decade ago during combat operations in Afghanistan is now being charged in the man’s death -- a move his lawyer says is an act of betrayal by the Army. “I think he’s been betrayed,” his attorney, Phillip Stackhouse, told Fox News on Friday when asked how the Army has treated Golsteyn. “They have insinuated to me that they have new evidence,” Stackhouse told Fox News. “There’s limits on how long you can hold guys,” he told Fox News' Bret Baier in 2016. Stackhouse told Fox News the suspected bomb maker was released and later killed during combat operations in Marja.
