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.

Discussing is one thing, condemning, like many on here are doing is another.
It maybe a deal, a prisoner exchange, and it wouldn't be the first time in history one has been done. And no it probably sets a precedent that Germany will be sorry for. But it was Germany's call and they did what they believed to be in their best interest. And it simply is not my job to judge their action..... sorry. I'm sure they can point to many things our government has done to piss them off.... that individually the citizens of the US didn't approve of.
I am far more concerned, as pointed out above, by HIghthief, with the rapists, molesters, murderers we release on a daily basis in our own country. And are free to roam about to do it again.
Hell, if we could release convicted murderers and rapists and ship them off to another country, I'd say do it baby.
I am far more concerned about a supposed "war on terror" that allows 1000's of illegals (where any individual or group could be the planners and executors of the next 9/11) to flood over our border with Mexico on a daily basis. But the Right and their president don't say shit about that now do they?
My belief is that we have far, far more to fear and that the next attack will come from people jumping the border, than the guy Germany released.
