Why were the 17 released?

Again, what has changed which would promote the evacuation of Gitmo?

Finally, what role can congress play at this point?

I don't know (it was 14, I misspoke). I don't know how many face charges there.

I know alot of freepers are saying this ruling means - "we can just hold them forever, since the war on terror will never end, they will be perpetual prisoners of war". I wouldn't hang my hat on that. now the the federal courts all the way to the top have inserted their jurisdiction into this, anything is possible.

congress could do alot of things, but I don't think they will. I don't think the senate will give the president the power to hold military tribunals for them, as the sole and final disposition of justice for them.

and the left isn't done. they wil now be going into federal court to try and deconstruct the CIA foreign prisons operations. watch.

the only sure way to stop it - one more SCOTUS retirement amongst the 5 dirtbags that issued this ruling.
