BOISE, Idaho (AP) — In public Facebook posts written before he vanished from his military base in Afghanistan, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl spoke of his frustration with the world. His writings paint a portrait of a man who was dealing with two conflicts — one fought with bullets and bombs, the other fought within himself. His Facebook page — under the name "Wandering Monk" — was suspended yesterday by Facebook for a violation of terms. Bergdahl's last post was made a few weeks before his capture.

HAILEY, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho county commissioner is telling reporters and outsiders to leave the town of Hailey and leave Bowe Berghdal's family alone. The Times-News reports that Blaine County Commissioner Larry Schoen said people should stop attacking Bergdahl, his family and the people of Hailey for standing by him.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho Supreme Court Justice Warren Jones was taken to a Salt Lake City hospital yesterday after he became ill during a court session in Twin Falls. The Idaho Statesman reports that Jones was taken to a Twin Falls emergency room and transferred by air ambulance to Utah. The court said in a statement that news about Jones' condition would be provided when more is learned.

University of Idaho ecology professor Janet Rachlow says the aerial survey work starting Sunday will be used for land management and management of wildlife populations.
