Well, here I am in September 2021. First time I'm reading this very old thread, because the U.S. has just the past few weeks had the very chaotic and heinous withdrawal of our troops from Afghanistan. And who is in charge of Afghanistan now, as reconstituted by the Taliban? Many former Gitmo prisoners.

I am years late to this thread, but there was never going to be any way to reform committed jihadists. They are not citizens, our Constitution does not protect them, and we would be safer today if they were all still locked up. I really don't care about their human rights. IMO they are subhuman, and have no rights to be free. They're going to destroy any remaining innocent Afghanis and reignite large scale terror attacks against the West.

The Pentagon carried out the secret operation in the early hours of Monday, days before Guantánamo’s most notorious prisoner, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, was scheduled to plead guilty to plotting the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in exchange for a life sentence rather than face a death-penalty trial.

The handoff had been in the works for about three years. An initial plan to conduct the transfer in October 2023 was derailed by opposition from Congress.
The 11 who were released included Moath al-Alwi, a former long-term hunger striker who gained attention in the art world for building model boats from objects found at the Guantánamo prison; Abdulsalam al-Hela, whose testimony was sought by defense lawyers in the U.S.S. Cole case; and Hassan Bin Attash, the younger brother of a defendant in the Sept. 11 conspiracy case.

All of the prisoners were cleared for transfer through federal national-security review panels.

U.S. officials declined to say what the United States gave Oman, one of the most stable U.S. allies in the Middle East, and what guarantees it received in exchange. By law, the military cannot send Guantánamo prisoners to Yemen because, as a nation caught up in a brutal civil war, it is considered too unstable to monitor and rehabilitate returnees.
