The 5 transferred to Qatar don't appear to be hardcore terrorists and may actually help the Afghani government make amends.

What are you on, Jeff? Have you read their bios? I have taken the following from Reuters story posted 3 hours ago;
Senior officials at the Afghan intelligence agency said they believed the men would return to the battlefield and bolster the insurgency just as most foreign combat troops prepare to exit by the end of this year.
All five were classed as "high-risk" and "likely to pose a threat" by the Pentagon and held senior positions in the Taliban regime before it was toppled by a U.S.-led coalition in 2001.
At least two of them are suspected of committing war crimes, including the murder of thousands of Afghan Shi'ites, according to leaked U.S. military cables.
I just don't see how you can draw your conclusion
