Innocent Guantanamo detainees freed after 14 years.

This ugly stain on our country should have been closed years and years ago. I wonder if the men got any compensation for their ordeal.

"A Tajik and a Yemeni national each held for roughly 14 years at Guantanamo Bay have been freed and sent to the Balkan nation of Serbia, the U.S. Department of Defense announced Monday.

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.

Nowhere does the article state they are innocent. More Christiefan bullshit. I'm sure her little group will circle jerk her thread.
 
One was Abdul Rahman Ahmed, a Yemeni who is either 36 or 37. In 2009, a six-agency detainee review task force recommended Mr. Ahmed for continued indefinite wartime detention, but a parole-like review board that periodically re-examines such detainees decided in October 2015 that his imprisonment was no longer necessary.

In a public report, the review board said that while Mr. Ahmed was once “probably a low-level fighter who was aligned with Al Qaeda,” he had changed his mind-set in prison, become fluent in English, completed courses required for a high school equivalency degree and largely complied with prison rules since 2012.

it's possible here can be so called rehabilitation. Saudi Arabia's domestic anti-terrorism strategy is to take non-hardened jihadists and do just that.
Perhaps it happens here too.

But Obama is simply reclassifing and releasing in a wholesale manner to close Gitmo.
He's putting some really hardened bad guys out there for no other reason then for his expediency
