Out of Long War Journal, we have this story:
By THOMAS JOSCELYNSeptember 24, 2012
The Obama administration has released a list of 55
Guantanamo detainees who were approved for transfer by the Guantanamo Bay
Review Task Force. The task force, which was authorized by President Obama as
one of his first acts in office, completed its work in January 2010. The Obama
administration has worked to resettle many of the detainees the task force
approved for transfer, but the detainees on the newly-disclosed list remain at
Guantanamo.
Before the task force was authorized in January 2009, Joint
Task Force Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO) had previously assessed all of the detainees
held in Cuba. JTF-GTMO's threat assessments for 760 current and former
detainees have been leaked online. (Approximately 167 detainees remain in
custody at this time.)
The Long War Journal has matched those threat
assessments to the 55 detainees on the task force's list.
JTF-GTMO determined that 34 of the 55 detainees on the
newly-released list were "high risk(s)" who are "likely to pose
a threat to the US, its interests, and allies" if freed from custody. One
detainee was deemed a "medium to high risk."
Conclusion: the man has no sense for political timing.
