Bergdahl swap prompts questions as five Taliban leaders freed
The Pentagon weighed Bergdahl walking away in 2010 but kept options open to secure his release. U S officials say Washington sought to fracture the Taliban by trading for five top leaders held at Guantanamo. The detainees were sent to Qatar with a year in residence before return to Afghanistan. Bergdahl remained in Germany for medical care amid scrutiny at home.
