US drops charges against 5 Guantanamo prisoners

The Pentagon said Tuesday it has dropped war-crimes charges against five Guantanamo Bay detainees after the former prosecutor in their cases complained that the military was withholding evidence helpful to the defense.

None of the men will be freed, and the military said it could reinstate charges later.

Can someone please explain to me how this is anything different than what Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, the Shah of Iran, the Taliban did and are doing?
