"didn't USG pay to garner the release of Bergdahl?"

That's usually called "an exchange of POWs" by the military. 5 for one is cheap.

Israeli prisoner exchanges refer to exchanges of prisoners during the Arab-Israeli conflict. Israel has exchanged POWs with its Arab neighbors, and has released about 7,000 Palestinian prisoners to secure freedom for 19 Israelis and to retrieve the bodies of eight others.
