The original deal discussed late last year to try and free deserter Bowe Bergdahl was to send the Taliban $5-6 million in cash. No terrorists, or anything else. Now it’s starting to look like that not only did the Taliban get their five Osama Bin Ladens back, but also a cash ransom payment from Obama as well, totaling between $5-6 million.

The official, who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press, speculated that a cash ransom was paid to the Haqqani Network to get the group to free the prisoner.
The Obama administration reportedly considered offering cash for his release as late as December 2013. The State Department has repeatedly refused to say whether the deal that released Bergdahl involved any cash payment.
The ransom plan was reportedly abandoned, but the intelligence official insisted that there is reason to believe that cash changed hands as part of the deal.
“The Haqqanis could give a rat’s ass about prisoners,” the official said, referring to the Haqqani Network, a designated terrorist group in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the five Guantanamo Bay prisoners who were freed in exchange for Bergdahl’s release.
