The Obama administration reportedly has launched talks with Qatari officials about potentially extending security measures for the five Taliban leaders who were traded a year ago for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, with the agreement governing their supervised release soon set to expire.

The Washington Post reported that talks began Thursday, and could lead to some aspects of the security arrangement being extended. That pact -- which keeps the former Guantanamo inmates under supervision in Qatar and prohibits them from leaving the country -- is set to expire at the end of May, raising concerns in Washington that they could soon return to the battlefield.

Fox News reported in March that, according to a government official familiar with the intelligence, at least three of the five have tried to plug back into their old terror networks.

The Post reported that , amid these concerns, administration officials are putting several options on the table for keeping some restrictions in place. It's unclear whether Qatar would agree to any of them.

0bama wants another bite at the apple on his illegal and probably traitorous release of the Taliban5.

[BenLurkin]

It’s for show. The lousy one year “time=out” for these killers was for show.

[immadashell]

Threaten to send Bergdahl back.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Yeah, saw that earlier and I’m still scratching my head.

I wonder how much this is going to cost us and how much of the bribe will be funneled through to the terrorist groups?

I thought I was beyond revulsion, but no! My take on this is that they were under the (putative) supervision of the Qataris, but were actually scheduled to be unleashed with no trammels after a year. And for this we got Bergdahl "back?"

I am so relieved - do I need a /sarc tag?

Isn’t it funny?

$5 billion was part of the deal, and whaddya know, $5 billion also mysteriously disappeared from the accounts of the Department of State, as run by Hillary Clinton.

SOOOOOO MYSTERIOUS....!

The White Mosque should put the Taliban5
in charge of the GOP.

What difference would it make?

I never thought I would live to see the Evil that has arisen in my lifetime. Thank the Lord my parents, who brought us through the Depression and WWII, were spared this!

Condos in Miami! Close to their buds still in Gitmo. I would say Key West but, you know.

[Sacajaweau]

I agree. I read somewhere that they were free to do as they wished...There were really no restrictions. You can betur sweet .... that they went right back to their rotten business.
