The statements are that Panetta and Gates said to never release some of them.

I think in particular the one accused of massacring Shia was supposed to rot in jail for the rest of his life.
Ultimately, I believe Obama did this because he's trying to close Guantanamo as fast as possible, and rather than making sure these 5 saw trial, he dumped them. I certainly hope that there is an investigation into this and that Congress has a chance to determine if laws were broken.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Obama negotiates with terrorists, gains the release of a US deserter and possible traitor.
