So Lipson's claim that Obama release<d> a murderers' row of Taliban generals doesn't seem to reflect the facts. The CNN article does note that Fazl has been accused of war crimes during Afghanistan's civil war in the 1990s -- but as far as I can tell there's never been any effort to prosecute him on such charges
