Officials: Detainee swapped for Bergdahl suspected of militant activities

Washington (CNN)The U.S. military and intelligence community now suspect that one of the five Taliban detainees released from Guantanamo Bay in return for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in May of last year has attempted to return to militant activity from his current location in Qatar, CNN has learned exclusively.

The development has led to an ongoing debate inside the administration about whether there is a new threat from this man, and potentially the other four.

This is the first known suggestion that any of the detainees involved in the exchange may be trying to engage again in militant activity. It comes at a politically sensitive time as the administration has quickened the pace of prisoner release in an effort to encourage the closure of the Guantanamo, and the Army must decide in the coming weeks whether and how to punish Bergdahl for leaving his post.

Several U.S. officials across different agencies and branches of the U.S. government have confirmed key details to CNN. The White House referred CNN to the Pentagon, and the Pentagon has declined to comment on the matter.

Ask me if I am surprised. Obama turns dangerous terrorists loose because he doesn’t like Gitmo.

AT least three of the Bergdahl swap-detainees are FULLY KNOWN to be working with AQ. Note the effect; to downplay.

What about the other guy? The won that made the decision to go ahead with this deal in the first place? I suspect *him* of militant activities as well.

I hope there are some rogue elements of the CIA who can send the 5 swapped for the traitor Bergdahl to their virgins, pronto.

Has his court martial proceeding begun yet for desertion?

Yet another sterling move by the State Department & Obama, prisoner swap for the guy who ran away to join them.

When a guy has been out of commission and wants to get back to work what field does he look in?

The one he has expertise in.
