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.

Militant activities? Like the “militant activities” that Adolf Hitler, and the Empire of Japan engaged in? What about the Civil Militance between the States? LOL.

Obama - Stating Come now lets cut the 5 detainees some slack, look they were at Gitmo so long that they were indoctrinated into full fledged muslim adherents. How was I supposed to know that they would join with Al Quaeda, ISIS or the Taliban. These are all good organizations to belong in, it is like the Klu klux Klan in America. They never hurt anybody at all. Gee I just read about Al Quaeda, Taliban and ISIS in the paper. While I was in Saudi Arabia meeting the new king. I was assurred that there were no such thing as a Islam extremist. The issue in Yemen is just some youth whom are disgruntled, nothing will happen the President there will be restored and if anyone was supposedly killed they were just acting. No one was hurt and no one died. Obama in denial and i do not mean the river in Egypt.
