New York Times: 10 More Detainees Are Transferred From Guantánamo Prison
WASHINGTON — With days left in the Obama administration, the United States has sent 10 more lower-level detainees from the wartime prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to Oman, and lawyers for two more who are on a list of those recommended for transfer are urgently asking a court to send them home as well.
The government of Oman announced early on Monday that it had resettled the 10 men. They were from a list of those approved for transfer, many after about 15 years of detention without trial, but remained stranded because they come from unstable countries like Yemen. Oman, which has a custodial rehabilitation program for Islamist extremists, previously took in 20 detainees, all Yemenis.
The Pentagon had not yet formally announced the transfer or named the 10 men, but a defense official confirmed that 10 prisoners had been transferred to Oman. The transfers reduced the remaining population at the prison to 45. Nine of those men are approved for transfer to a country that is willing and able to provide security assurances.

Sure they are low level.
Sure they are low level, because Obama released the murderers before the jay walkers.
If Ike's driver had been taken prisoner, the Germans would have held him for the duration.
In this war Osama's driver is taken prisoner and liberals want to spring him immediately.
Liblogic
liberal justification for this: because terrorists are ppl and have feelings too, if we treat them nice they will treat us nice.
reality: you just released known terrorists professionals to go commit more murders of infidels(innocent ppl that arent muslim) in the name of islam
hindsight: you should have gotten as much intel out of them as possible via any technique avail and then executed them after you brought the heads of each and every family member associated with them (like the damn russians did) and broadcasted said methods via the internet so every jihadi in existence curls up back into whatever armpit of existence he/she/it lives and wait for either a JDAM or cruise missile to impact forehead.
