What in the world is Karzai thinking?

Original article here on NBC excerpts below:

By Hamid Shalizi, Reuters
KABUL - Afghanistan will release 88 prisoners as planned even though the United States considers them dangerous and wants them to remain in detention, the board reviewing their cases told Reuters.

The prisoners are being held at a jail at the Bagram air base north of Kabul. The United States only recently transferred the prison to Afghan control after it had become a serious source of tension with the Afghan government.

...

U.S. senators in Afghanistan last week pressed the president to stop the release, warning it would irreparably damage relations with the United States.
