Too right about “eternal vigilance,” TD.
I also suspect you’re right about releases coinciding with forthcoming habeas hearings, and hope that does indeed mean that more releases are on the way, even if that will prevent the full details of the government’s empty evidence from being aired in public.

I guess this brings us to eight prisoners released during the Obama Administration; still too slow, but the pace seems to be picking up.

I’m hard-pressed to complain about anyone being released at this point; maybe they’re gearing up for a flood of releases (just as the courts are gearing up for a flood of habeas petitions, and the Kiyemba case looms before the Supreme Court). One can hope.

Of course, as important as the releases are, the gov’t continues to argue for the structure of totalitarianism, so these things might happen in the future…again and again…

The price of liberty is always eternal vigilance, it seems.
