Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) had an unusual response to the release of five Taliban detainees in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl, the "captured" American soldier who may have actively collaborated with the enemy.

According to TIME, the Obama administration has been looking to "get rid of" the terrorists since January 2009, and decided to release them now despite strong objections from intelligence community.

It is not yet clear how the Koch brothers are connected to their release.
