    I'd have to google up the specifics

    It is a war, POW's can be held until a peace treaty is signed by the offending party, or the offending party has been rendered not to exist.

    The Pentagon
    said the two men were released from the U.S. base in Cuba after comprehensive security reviews. It identified the Yemeni as Mansur Ahmad Saad al-Dayfi and the Tajik as Muhammadi Davlatov.

    The latest detainee releases come amid a renewed push by the Obama administration to whittle down the number of men held at the U.S. base in Cuba. On Sunday, another Yemeni prisoner was released and sent to Italy after more than 14 years in custody.

    ...they were never charged with a crime, and authorities ultimately decided they did not pose a security threat and could be freed.

    http://abcnews.go.com/International/...eases-40492156
    They and the others were, in essence, political prisoners.

    The Bush administration, in a desperate effort to ‘justify’ its illegal, unwarranted invasion of Iraq, used the Guantanamo detainees to do just that.

    The State Department announced today that two jihadists have been added to the US government’s list of designated terrorists.

    One of the two, Ayrat Nasimovich Vakhitov, was once detained at Guantanamo and was recently arrested by Turkish authorities

    I suspect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed would be convicted if the government would end the legal farce surrounding his trial.

    The Trial
    Eric Holder and the battle over Khalid Sheikh Mohammed

    http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/20...15/the-trial-2
    December 5th, several hundred people gathered in Foley Square, in lower Manhattan, and withstood a drenching rainstorm for two hours in order to send a message to Attorney General Eric Holder.
    A JumboTron, set up by the protesters, played clips of Holder’s recent testimony before Congress, in which he explained his decision to hold the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed—the self-proclaimed planner of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001—and four co-conspirators in the colonnaded federal courthouse flanking the square, rather than in a military commission at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba
