Default US ready to release Aafia siddiqui. But why?

In a major breakthrough, the US has offered Pakistan to sign prisoner swap agreement for the extradition of Dr Aafia Siddiqi, after which the Pakistani scientist will be allowed to serve the remaining part of her imprisonment in homeland.
The US offered two deals that include European Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons and Convention on Serving Criminal Sentences Abroad in this regard.
Meanwhile, it was also revealed that the Interior Ministry had formed a task force following the US offer which held its first session on July 3 to review the agreement.

Now the question arises why America is now willing to release Afia?
In my humble opinion this agreement is going to be lethal for Pakistan interests. America will demand hundreds of prisoners from Pakistan on the basis of this Prisoner Swap agreement.
