You have 168 remaining detainees.
Name the detainee you and Glenn are concerned about?? Because if it is the dude mentioned in the article, I suggest you read this opinion before you comment further....

Make sure you read the parts where the dude claims he didn't know he was in an Al-Qaeda-run weapons camp when he picked a weapons camp to go to in 1999.
And then read the part about how that he was kidnapped and taken to Tora Bora in December of 2001 where he was wrongly arrested......I mean, apparently he was just in Afghanistan post September 11th for a wedding....and then he got kidnapped and dropped off at Tora Bora.
Yeah. He's now in post-Habeas proceedings, governed by a 2008 protective order. His attorney can dispute the nuts and bolts of the protective order with the judge, but you do realize that Mr. Obama does not control that branch of government, right?
