The Problem with Detainees at Guantanamo

The detainees at Guantanamo posed several challenges. Firstly, many were not the high-level threats they were suspected to be, with most being low-level fighters. Additionally, there was a lack of clear intelligence on the identities and potential threats posed by the detainees. The detention lacked a solid plan for release, leading to prolonged periods of confinement for some detainees spanning over a decade. As a result, 30 men are still held at Guantanamo, incurring a substantial cost of $13 million per year.
