You have to justify the cost of everything. Just as no rational person would pay $1000 for a pack of Twizzlers, no rational President would pay 5 taliban generals for one deserter. No one would be arguing if we paid $10,000 cash.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

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

He was a Taliban commander, too, not just a guy who knew al-Qaeda members.
