Sunday on CNN’s “State of The Union,” Secretary of State John Kerry said it was “baloney” to say that U.S. troops will be more at risk of kidnapping after the prisoner exchange of five top Taliban commanders for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.

Kerry added about the threat the released Taliban could pose: “I am not telling you that they don’t have some ability at some point to go back and get involved, but they also have an ability to get killed if they do that.”
