Paper’s suit reveals ‘indefinite detainees’ at Gitmo

In national security speech last month, Obama said this was
the lingering issue that would remain after the other steps that he outlined were taken. 

{mosads}He did not offer a solution in his address, saying that once a commitment was made to
closing the facility, he was “confident that this legacy problem can
be resolved.”

The Pentagon released the identities of the 48 prisoners to
the Herald after the paper filed a lawsuit in March under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA). The paper had the help of Yale Law School students to
fight the suit in court.

The identities of the detainees were also sent to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees.

Two of the prisoners on the list have died, leaving 46
remaining detainees being held indefinitely. According to the Herald, those detainees include 26
Yemenis, 12 Afghans, three Saudis, two Kuwaitis, two Libyans, a Kenyan, a Moroccan and
a Somali.
