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).

 

This is truly the case. Religious zealots will hate us no matter how "compassionate" we are.
