I also find it weirder than with Bermuda that these men are now in a supremely remote location, still away from their families after eight years, in a place with a population of 20,000, but no Uighurs, and just 500 Muslims, mostly workers from Bangladesh. And this is progress ....

Instead, a fourth showdown over GTMO in the Supreme Court looks inevitable (and coming down the pike is <i>Kiyemba II</i>, dealing with the abillity of courts to block return of detainees to countries where they will all but certainly face mistreatment by someone other than the United States.) Not that I don't have every confidence in the Obama Administration's ability to evade compliance with the <i>Kiyemba</i> decision too, of course, just as the Bush Admin. before it had managed to avoid complying with the substance of <i>Rasul</i>, <i>Hamdan</i> and <i>Boumediene</i>. But at least it sounds good.
