| [FoxNews] The B.O. regime reportedly has launched talks with Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... i officials about potentially extending security measures for the five Taliban leaders who were traded a year ago for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, with the agreement governing their supervised release soon set to expire. The Washington Post reported that talks began Thursday, and could lead to some aspects of the security arrangement being extended. That pact -- which keeps the former Guantanamo inmates under supervision in Qatar and prohibits them from leaving the country -- is set to expire at the end of May, raising concerns in Washington that they could soon return to the battlefield. Fox News reported in March that, according to a government official familiar with the intelligence, at least three of the five have tried to plug back into their old terror networks. The Post reported that, amid these concerns, administration officials are putting several options on the table for keeping some restrictions in place. It's unclear whether Qatar would agree to any of them. Asked by Fox News on Friday about the status of the reported discussions, State Department front man Jeff Rathke confirmed the administration is in talks to limit or "mitigate" the risk of former Guantanamo prisoners returning to terrorism. |

| #2 Lessee. You gave up something you had, now you want to extend an agreement to retain less than what you gave up. Got it. |
