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.

    From "The Last Waltz"

    http://youtube.com?v=BLjNjSpZxzg

    They say ev'ry man needs protection
    They say that ev'ry man must fall
    Yet I swear I see my reflection
    Somewhere so high above this wall

    I see my light come shinin'
    From the west unto the east
    Any day now, any day now
    I shall be released
