The Washington Post has more on President-Elect Barack Obama's Guantanamo plans. Shorter version: We'll study the matter and get back to you.
The Obama administration will launch a review of the classified files of the approximately 250 detainees at Guantanamo Bay immediately after taking office, as part of an intensive effort to close the U.S. prison in Cuba, according to people who advised the campaign on detainee issues.
....Although as a candidate Obama publicly expressed his desire to close the detention facility, his transition team stressed this week that the president-elect has not assembled his national security and legal team and that no decisions have been made "about where and how to try the detainees," Denis McDonough, an Obama foreign policy adviser, said in a statement issued Monday.

Look for many to be released as they haven't committed a crime but have been helped for 7 years. At lease 7 men have been tortured so much their now insane. Obama will see that the US tortured, raped and even killed men/woman/children while being held by the USA. Obama can only now do the right thing and the United Nations is waiting to charge the Bush Administration with War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.
