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.

    Hi GG

    Started reading this and was fairly uplifted-had heard about it on CNN earlier..

    by the time I got to the last sentence though, I was very sickened at what this WH has wrought in the name of Americans everywhere.

    These seemingly inocuous little details-like "had a 6yr old he has never met" is gut wrenching..

    I'm glad some judges have the guts to do the right thing..

    I think it is the EX-prisoner-improperly-imprisoned that should have the say about where he lives..

    I think it is up to the US to offer them stay here--with offers of free education, psychological and medical help, and job-training..

    Hopefully, the American people can have the chance to make a bigger influence of good, if they are settled here in the US-to let foreigners know that all Americans are not as shallow, inhumane, and sadistic as GW and Cheney..
