President Barack Obama is about to release or transfer 55 Gitmo prisoners, despite reports that the Libyan believed to be behind the killing of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens was a former Guantanamo inmate transferred to Libyan custody.
The large percentage of those scheduled to be released are Yemeni, according to a list made public by the Obama administration.
Obama stopped the release or transfer of Yemeni inmates in 2010, because the conditions in the country were viewed as too "unsettled" at the time.
A release or transfer of 55 inmates means Obama is moving out one third of the prisoners at Guantanamo. And while it doesn't represent a shutdown of the facility, it's certainly indicative of a move toward that end.
Could it be that Obama is trying to set himself up to campaign as the man who is taking steps to finally close Gitmo, just as he recently reversed the Afghanistan surge in order to campaign as the man who's winding down the war in the Afghanistan?
The ACLU has praised the releases as "a partial victory for transparency."

Nice ,Job........ How's about releasing them men rite here in CONUS at Fort Leavenworth at the same Time !!
The only question I have to this is who can legally file and call for the filing of charges of treason under US law?
Does that have to be the US Congress? Is filing charges of treason limited to Congress?
If the issuance and fileing of charges of treason is limited to Congress, where the hell are they?
Does no one in our Congress have any spine at all?
I thought this was supposed to be a government of "We-The-People", but I guess I am mistaken again.
