I've linked to a story about this dead hostage for freedom for the terrorist before and now Senators Sessions and Kyl are asking questions:
Senators question U.S. role in hostage deal
Clarification sought on negotiations

Two senior Republican senators sent a letter to President Obama on
Wednesday expressing concern over reports that the administration
negotiated "directly or indirectly" with terrorists for the release of
British hostages in Iraq.
In a letter made available to The Washington Times, Jeff
Sessions of Alabama and Jon Kyl of Arizona said that the U.S. release
last month of Laith al-Khazali, a member of a militant Shi'ite group
called Asaib al-Haq, may have been part of a deal to gain freedom for
three British hostages held since 2007. On June 21, the group sent the
bodies of two British hostages to the British Embassy in Baghdad. The
other three are still being held.
