1. link (but not much more info)

The U.S. military is releasing about two dozen Afghan and Pakistani citizens from the U.S. Navy prison for terrorist suspects in Cuba, defense officials said Monday.

They were being flown back to Afghanistan and Pakistan aboard U.S. aircraft, but a public announcement was being withheld until their arrival, the officials said. Terms of their release were not immediately clear, but it appeared it would be up to their governments to decide what to do with them.

2. lets home they actually have homes and families to return too.

considering the US likes deporting "foreign" nationals that have lived for years in the country and have very few roots in their "home" countries.

that the Gitmo detainees were THE most dangerous criminals to roam the earth? Why are these ones being let go? Were there mistakes made? No, can't be.
