Four out of five Guantanamo detainees whom former President Barack Obama released in exchange for former U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in 2014 now hold senior positions in the interim government created by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
According to the Afghan television network TOLOnews, the Taliban-formed government gave leadership positions to Khairullah Khairkhwa, Norullah Noori, Abdul Haq Wasiq, and Mohammad Fazl; all of whom were released in a 2014 deal between the Obama administration and the Taliban to free Bergdahl, whom the Taliban had held as a prisoner since 2009.
On Tuesday, the Taliban announced that Khairkhwa would serve as acting minister for information and culture, Noori would serve as acting minister of borders and tribal affairs, Wasiq would serve as acting director of intelligence, and Fazl would serve as deputy defense minister.
Wasiq will reprise his role as the Taliban's intelligence director, previously serving in the role prior to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on America. U.S. intelligence agencies determined that Wasiq had close tied to al Qaeda while he was serving in that position at the time.
Thomas Joscelyn, a senior fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), noted that Fazl will also return to his role as deputy defense minister. "U.S. officials found that Fazl worked with senior al Qaeda personnel, including Abdel Hadi al Iraqi, one of Osama bin Laden's chief lieutenants," Joscelyn wrote in a tweet. "Al Iraqi is still held at Guantanamo."
Late last month, following the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan, the Taliban announced that Mohammad Nabi Omari, another former Guantanamo Bay Naval Base (GTMO) detainee with close ties to al Qaeda, would govern Khost Province.

"As an adult, Bergdahl studied and practiced fencing and martial arts before changing to ballet classes at the Sun Valley Ballet School in Ketchum, Idaho. He spent time in a Buddhist monastery between 2007 and 2008" — WikipediaAn Army of One.
The Gulf Arabs have kicked out Qatar from their organization. They probably see Qatari as terrorists. If that’s the case, why are they allowing us to have a military base there?
Charge Obama with Treason.
Obama....bas****
Picture of Obama with his hand on mommy’s behind?
Who could have seen this coming? /s
It’s as if these people accidentally wound up at GITMO being
totally innocent.
At least, that’s how Lefts, Communists, and (what I think to
be) a majority of Islamic adherents see it.
I still see Obama as completing that tri-fecta.
and he still breaths...
To the surprise of no one who’s paying any attention.
Those four are Heroes now.
I recall reading that this guy, Bo Berdahl’s father was accusued of peeping into the windows of two female neighbors. I don’t recall what became of that situation.
That is one of the creepiest weirdos ever. I cringed when he started babbling in Arabic.
God rest his soul.
I corrected it in my post#12, but for some reason the link under his name was a different person of the same name.
I’m glad I erred.
I’d wager at least 95% of those who vote Dem don’t know this, and, with the sources they get their “news” from, never will.
We are rounding the corner to the NWO and fulfilment of Biblical prophecy. Evil is rampant with many willingly doing satan’s bidding. Joe Biden is NOT in charge. Never has been and never will be. Kamala either. Like I have posted before . . . the real power and decision making is way up the food chain. They all think they will be in positions of authority . . . evidently they haven’t read the book of Revelation.
Well that worked well…
I thought Joe Biden was lead Negotiator on the transfer of Terrorists for a Traitor
Bergdahl deserted his position in a war zone and should've faced a firing squad.
I had a dream a few years ago. It is now one of my top two dreams. Remember how we delivered those terrorists to a bunch of other terrorists via helicopters?
In my dream, the copter comes in like it did, and then at about 800 feet it hovers for a minute and then all five of them are shoved out. The helicopter banks and then leaves the area.
They get their buddies back and Bergdahl could continue to learn the ways of his friends, especially during their subsequent days of grieving for their friends who could not fly.
