As I see it, you have a law that was written with good intentions that people will agree with its use in most situations being applied in a case that could be described as a worst case scenario. Not only was the man convicted of a callous and violent crime, his release undermines agreements with a major ally and allows him to be treated as a hero (potentially helping recruit more terrorists which would undermine the security of the western world).
