And this:

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney defended the administration’s swap of an American prisoner of war for five Taliban leaders, saying the move did not threaten U.S. security.

“It was absolutely the right thing to do because the United States does not leave our men and women behind in armed conflict,” Carney said about the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was freed from five years of captivity in Afghanistan.

The White House announced over he weekend it swapped Bergdahl for five Taliban detainees from Guantanamo Bay. The five men were transferred to Qatar, where they will remain under government supervision.

Taliban leader Mullah Omar called the trade a “great victory," but Carney told TODAY’s Matt Lauer that the exchange did not put the lives of Americans at risk, according to the determination by U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and the national security team.
