WASHINGTON, June 11 (UPI) -- Hillary Clinton told NBC News correspondent Cynthia McFadden that the prisoners released from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl are not a danger to America despite President Obama admitting last week there is a chance the prisoners could return to activities hostile to the United States. The former secretary of state, who is promoting her new book, was interviewed by McFadden on the Today show Wednesday.
"Clinton writes in her book, the U.S. was involved in negotiations with the Taliban while she was Secretary of State, and even then, getting Bowe Bergdahl back was part of the equation," McFadden leads with, telling Clinton. "I think an awful lot of people think that we're less safe today than we were a week ago because these five guys are out."
