Obama: Released Taliban Prisoners Could 'Absolutely' Pose Threat to the US

Tuesday in Poland, President Barack Obama was asked if the five Taliban terrorist released from Guantanamo Bay in a prisoner swap for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl could pose a future threat to America. Obama answered, “In terms of potential threats, the release of the Taliban who were being held in Guantanamo was conditioned on the Qataris keeping eyes on them and creating a structure in which we can monitor their activities. We will be keeping eyes on them.”
