Three detainees checked out of the the US Defense Department's all inclusive Cuban resort for Arab's last week.
According to the Government's press release, "one detainee was transferred to Afghanistan, one detainee to the United Arab Emirates, and one detainee to Qatar. These detainees were determined to be eligible for transfer following a comprehensive series of review processes...The transfer is a demonstration of the United States' desire not to hold detainees any longer than necessary."
Is this release (or transfer), one of over 60 in the works, an admission that these detainees were never a threat to begin with or just no longer a threat? Maybe the Defense Department has gotten as much out of them as they're ever going to. In any event, I'm sure they'll have a lot of nice things to say to their friends in Afghanistan, the UAB and Qatar.
The approximately 265 guests still (not) enjoying their stay in Guantanamo Bay can sit tight.
