Well, at least for a year, according to the conditions of his release/swap. I imagine on the first day of the second year he will have laid plans and on that day will have them put into action. Not to worry, Obama and Hagel have told us that the five will be monitored to assure their non-jihad ways.
No explanation as to how this will be accomplished was forthcoming.

Freed Taliban Commander Tells Relative He'll Fight Americans Again
SHAWAR, Pakistan - One of the five Taliban leaders freed from Guantanamo Bay in return for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's release has pledged to return to fight Americans in Afghanistan, according to a fellow militant and a relative.
"After arriving in Qatar, Noorullah Noori kept insisting he would go to Afghanistan and fight American forces there,” a Taliban commander told NBC News via telephone from Afghanistan.
Noori pushed to return to Afghanistan after learning that the U.S. had provided written assurances that no country would arrest any of the five freed for a year as long as they lived peacefully, one of his relatives told NBC News by telephone from Afghanistan.
Under the terms of the deal, the former commanders would remain under the control of the government of Qatar for one year and be subject to “restrictions on their movement and activities," a senior U.S. official has told NBC News –- including a one-year travel ban. A diplomatic source later told NBC News thattheir movements within the Arab emirate are not restricted.
The news comes amid a fierce debate on Capitol Hill over whether the Obama administration should have traded Bergdahl for the five commanders held at Guantanamo. Former members of Bergdahl’s platoon have described him as a deserter who walked away from his outpost.
Among the Taliban, the commanders’ release was treated as a victory.
"We thought we may not see them again as once you land in the hands of Americans, it's difficult to come out alive,” Noori’s relative said. “But it was a miracle that Allah Almighty gave us Bergdahl and we got back our heroes.”
All of the five -- Mohammad Fazl, Mohammed Nabi, Khairullah Khairkhwa, Abdul Haq Wasiq and Noori – were suffering from bad health after their imprisonment and currently being treated in a hospital in Qatar, the relative added.
A senior Taliban commander in the Pakistani city of Quetta said that 12 years of incarceration had also caused some psychological problems for Noori and Fazl.
Noori's relative admitted he was having some health issues, but denied he was suffering from any mental disorders.

No mental health issues? Western Islamic apologists routinely tell us jihadist like the Taliban are radical extremists who are crazy and misunderstand the peaceful nature of Islam, so Noori must be a true practitioner of the real Islam.
