The Worst of the Worst

With Guantanamo detainee review completed, political implications remain "About 10 percent of the 240 detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, when President Obama took office were 'leaders, operatives and facilitators involved in plots against the United States,' but the majority were low-level fighters, according to a previously undisclosed government report. About 5 percent of the detainees could not be categorized at all."

"The final report by the Guantanamo Review Task Force recommends that 126 of the detainees be either transferred home or to a third country; that 36 be prosecuted in either federal court or a military commission; and that 48 be held indefinitely under the laws of war. A group of 30 Yemenis was also approved for release if security conditions in their home country improved."

I'm so embarrassed by my government.

And then there's this New defeat for detainees.
