[Vision2020] Charges Dismissed Against Five Guantanamo Detainees

[Tom Hansen]

This I do not know, Paul.

All I know is what is (or has been) reported on the DoD website.

If all charges have been dismissed against these detainees, there would be 
no grounds to keep them in custody.

Kinda like what the Brits would call a "sticky wicket", huh Chas?
