#1 a policy of no releases would mean their confinement can no longer legally be justified as a temporary wartime measure

We will let them go when the war is over. It's as simple as that. Sadly, despite some local successes in Syria and Iraq, the war with radical Islam shows no sign of abating.

#3 Let them go and replace them with Hillary, Obama, McConnell, Ellison and a 'pub to be named later.

#5 Releasing them is easy. Just take them to the shore, point them towards Mecca, and say "Go for it!"

Here's an idea: Tell the poor dears - and have Ambassador Haley announce it in the Security Council - that in 18 months, they will be turned loose with a ticket to anywhere in the world, and a check for $20K.

IF your co-religionists do not execute a single terror attack anywhere in the world for those 18 months, to include Israel. No ISIS, no Gaza, no Sudden-Jihadi-Syndrome, no NOTHING.
The second that they do, the clock resets.

And then watch them grow old and die in captivity.

#10 They need a hobby. Raising pigs is very therapeutic I hear.

#11 "US torture continues at Guantanamo Bay, warns UN expert"

We should drop them off at the UN. From a C-130 (Economy Class) possibly?
