These men are still held because of presidential inertia, congressional obstruction, and the failures of some branches of the U.S. judiciary to uphold justice...

The news was announced on Monday, June 10, by Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, the chief prosecutor for the military commissions at Guantanamo, and it is a humiliating climb-down for the authorities...
