He spent the vast majority of his incarceration in Afghanistan itself. And he wasn’t released as part of the closing of Guantanamo, he was released to Afghan custody long before that process started.

So, come on, read between the lines. He was used as an intelligence asset by the US and the Afghans, apparently a pretty good one. Part of his reward was to be let go. He’s probably working as a double agent even now.

Interesting story, but not one that sheds any light at all on the consequences of closing Guantanamo.
