How do they know this guy would help in any de-escalation? Can they really trust him?

Couple of things that needs to be considered during this political game
1) What are they going to give up (or loose)
2) What is they going to gain.

With terrorists outfits they dont have much to loose as the option of going into hiding and start being a terrorist is again there. Other part is during this phases usually democratic government will not make correct decisions (like Karzai asking for release of terrorist) as more improtant to them is to take care of there support in parliament and not welfare of society.

How about getting atleast something like peace in return, before releasing these proven outlaws and criminals. Have we heard anything about what Taliban are commited to do or will they continue beheading innocent unarmed victims??

This all nonsense. Pakistan’s security establishment holds the key to allow the so-called Afghan Taliban to return to their country and seize all weapons given to them for subversive activities in Afghanistan. Considering the state of religious extremism and acts of terrorism in Pakistan, leaders of Pakistan– civilian and military- should be realistic enough to opt for ensuring regional peace and harmony.

Once they are in Afghanistan the US should take out all these Taliban terrorists with drone strikes. There are 40,000 Pakistanis dead today because of them and their affiliates.

What Pakistan got out of this deal? do we have handover of Taliban wanted by Pakistan likes of Hakeem ullah and fazal ullah? While NATO and Afghanistan asking pakistan to capture them in the past, now want them get it released? what a wicked strategy!

This release could be disastrous for Pakistan.
