In the midst of a war with terrorists, releasing enemy leaders and key Intel-holding prisoners for no reason is tantamount to 'TREASON'; yet, that is what President Barak Obama did.
Obama had slowly, quietly been emptying out the Detention Center at Guantanamo Bay by releasing terrorists in an attempt to keep a campaign promise, circumventing on his own the legislative process that refused to close GITMO. The Taliban 5, however, were the biggest named terrorists in Gitmo - 'Rock Stars' - Key Leaders and Operatives within the US' enemy, the Taliban. Obama could not simply release them as he had been doing with the other prisoners. They were too high profile.
Obama's problem was solved when an Islamic Extremist / Taliban-Sympathizer and deserter - Bo Bergdahl - was captured by the Haqqani Network in Afghanistan. Although the Naqqani Network demanded to be PAID for Bergdahl's release, Obama lied to the American people, claiming the Haqqani Network had demanded the release of the Taliban 5 ... then did just that.
MEET THE TALIBAN 5 ‘SWAPPED FOR BO BERGDAHL’
The Prisoner Swap’s Dilemma
"There is no question, though, that the five people released from Guantanamo in exchange for Bergdahl—Mohammed Fazl, Mohammed Nabi, Abdul Haq Wasiq, Mullah Norullah Nori, and Khairullah Khairkhwa—are bad guys.
"Fazi implicated in the murder of thousands of Shiites in northern Afghanistan during the Taliban reign. When asked about the murders, [Fazl]…did not express any regret and stated that they did what they needed to do to establish their ideal state.” American intelligence also believes that Fazl was involved in the 1998 killing of Iranian diplomats in Afghanistan. Wasiq and Nori, according to American intelligence records, are also deeply implicated in mass slaughters as well as torture."
MOHAMMED NABI:
"Nabi worked closely with his brother-in-law, Malim Jan, also known as “the butcher of Khowst” because of his role in massacring some 300 people there. The records show that he was believed to have worked hand-in-hand with Al-Qaeda, and was considered a high risk who was likely to pose a threat to American interests."
KHAIRULLAH KHAIRKHWA:
"Khairkhwa primarily played roles in meetings between the Taliban and Iranian intelligence. Intelligence records also suggest that he may have been involved in Afghanistan’s illegal drug trade."
The group that captured and held Bergdahl was the Haqqani Network. This group, though affiliated with the Taliban, did not like the Taliban, and these 5 mean meant nothing to their operations."
"The Haqqani network (Pashto: د حقاني شبکې) is an Afghan guerilla insurgent group using asymmetric warfare to fight against US-led NATO forces and the government of Afghanistan. Maulvi Jalaluddin Haqqani and his son Sirajuddin Haqqani lead the group. The group is based in Afghanistan, where it operates."
"The Haqqani Netwrok was affiliated and grew up with Al Qaeida. Following the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and the subsequent overthrow of the Taliban government, the Haqqanis fled to the bordering Pakistani tribal regions and regrouped to fight against coalition forces across the border."
Again, although loosely associated with the Taliban they did not like the Taliban.
The Haqqani Network was known to use kidnapping and ransom to fund their terrorist operations:
-- “They also receive funds from extortion, kidnappings and smuggling operations throughout eastern Afghanistan.[4] In an interview a former Haqqani commander called the extortion "the most important source of funding for the Haqqanis."
True to their ‘MO’, The Haqqani Network DEMANDED MONEY FOR THE RELEASE OF BO BERGDAHL TOI CONTINUE TO FUND THEIR OPERATIONS. THEY DID NOT ASK FOR THE RELEASE OF THE TALIBAN 5 BECAUSE THE TALIBAN 5 MEANT NOTHING TO THEM.

- Not part of Al Qaeda, the 5 were TALIBAN, top Taliban Leaders and key personnel of the enemy the US was fighting in Afghanistan, .
- In the on-going war in Afghanistan, the capture of these 5 Taliban Commanders / Leaders was HUGE.
