The Defense Department announced the release of 18 prisoners from Guantanamo Bay. There are still 395 prisoners held there, although I guess the US government would rather call them "detainees". The US has stated their intention to continue to hold these men and women, regardless of whether there is sufficient evidence or not, if they consider them to be a threat. US officials say one reason for the captivity is that detainees' home countries will not take them back. Does this mean they stay in Guantanamo forever?
