Germany has the right to do what it thinks is in its best interest and we have the right to discuss and even criticize those actions.
I don't know the details of this case, but I find it hard to believe that this guy is no longer a threat. Personally, I'm not a fan of parole except in exceptional cases.
Even if the release of this prisoner is not related to the hostage release, it's very likely that Germany made some other form of concession or ransom payment in order to reach a deal. I'm not sure such deals are in the best interest of anyone other than the hostage and the terrorists.
