The Guantanamo detainee found dead in his prison cell last weekend had been cleared for release three years ago by an Obama administration task force that concluded that his detention was no longer necessary, NBC News has learned. The disclosure that the detainee, Adnan Farham Abdul Latif, a 32-year-old Yemeni citizen, had been approved for repatriation could raise new questions about the handling of his case and those of scores of others held in Gitmo who also have been cleared for release. Instead, the detainees remain stuck in legal limbo in the U.S. prison … with no prospect for getting out any time soon.

Gitmo detainee who died on Saturday was cleared for release in 2009 (via theamericanbear)

Gitmo: where human beings stop being human beings. Something has to be done about the unchecked power of the US and Israel in international politics. Another wave of ‘new institutionalism’???
