| U.S. Plans to Send 6 Gitmo Detainees to Uruguay |
| 2014-07-18 |
| [NewYorkTimes] Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has secretly notified Congress that the military intends to transfer six low-level Guantänamo Bay detainees to Uruguay as early as next month, according to people with knowledge of the communication. All six have been approved for transfer for more than four years. Mr. Hagel's formal determination that the transfer would be in the national security interest of the United States breaks a bureaucratic paralysis over a deal that has been waiting for his approval since March, but that stalled amid the political uproar over a prisoner exchange deal that secured the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl from bully boyz in the Afghanistan war. The group would be the largest to depart the prison at once since 2009, and the transfer would reduce the Guantänamo Bay inmate population to 143. That figure includes 72 prisoners who are recommended for transfer, and 71 who are not. |
