      "without charges" maybe, but documents were published per a requirement from the Supreme Court that claims these brothers were:

      • members of Al Qaeda
      • stayed in Al Qaeda, Taliban or other guest- or safehouses
      • took military or terrorist training in Afghanistan
      • al Qaeda operatives

        @89th Either you charge and prosecute someone, either you release him/her.

          Oh, there's a third way.

          Shoot them on the spot.

            You participate in an attacking American citizens, you lose your human rights. This is not a criminal activity, it's a war.

              If it makes them feel better, charge them.

                @Wim said in Guantanamo detainees released after 20 years - without charge:

                @89th Either you charge and prosecute someone, either you release him/her.

                Overall I agree. But I'm also aware there's situations that are complex during wartime. The last thing a President wants is to release a prisoner and later find out they helped carry out a terrorist attack.
