The U.S. Justice Department on Friday made public the names of 55 Guantanamo prisoners who have been approved for transfer to the custody of other countries, releasing information sought by human rights organizations.

The announcement, which reverses a 2009 decision, was a surprise to organizations that had filed FOIA requests seeking the information.

"We did not expect this," said Omar Farah, attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights. "This is an important development."

This article is very revealing about the status of the remaining detanees at GITMO.

Is Obozo being blackmailed into releasing them to quieten the Middle East before the November Elections?

Or is he just taking care of his Muslim friends?

"For I will stand with them, should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

When he said that, nobody knew that the ugly winds were those FROM Muslims toward the rest of the world.

Probably. They have some name issues.

Super. I am sure nothing bad will come from this action. I mean, these guys have learned their lessons, right?

Wow, what a relief.

Now that these guys will be released, there will be no more burning Obama in effigy in their home countries, and Netanyahu will stop calling in the middle of football. Flowers will bloom, birds will sing, and children everywhere will do their homework without nagging.

It’s a good thing we have a Nobel Peace Prize Winner for a President!

Wait. I just had a tin foil hat moment. What if Obama is releasing these guys because he knows he will lose. They will be trouble for President Romney, and everybody will wish for the good ol’ days of the Obama presidency. Then he will run for president in 2016, saying it’s time to bring back peace.

For now. Soon they will change it to something a little less conspicuous before moving to the US.

“saying it’s time to bring back peace”

Nope. That which has been seen, cannot be unseen.

That is an interesting theory and you might be right. I think Obama knows he is going to lose, either he knows he is going to lose or he just flat out doesn’t give a crap anymore because he knows no matter what he does or says the media will let him get away with it. Do you think the Obama mania media will keep this silent, Im thinking they will, or they will just make excuses for him because they love him and they want him to win. This is what happens when you have a dictator in the White House who is adored by the press, the dictator answers to no one because he knows what he can get away with

It’s about a 100% guarantee that this released group of terrorists will end up killing someone again.
