Five detainees ordered released "forthwith" after seven years at Guantanamo

If the U.S. Congress had its way, these men would continue to be imprisoned despite there being no evidence of their guilt.

    normbreyfogle is right

    We just HAVE to start a criminal investigation into what was done to allow things like this (as well as the torture etc) to happen. I don't care if it's Democrats or Republicans that are responsible - this was truly "bipartisan" in that very few representatives from either party seems to have lifted a finger to stop it.

    If this administration declines to investigate this for fear of being seen as "partisan", I will never again support any politician. I stopped actively supporting Obama after his betrayal on FISA, and sadly I think he will do a similar 180 on this.
