Al Jazeera and Fox News (Tor-friendly archived copy) report that fifteen captives have been released from the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp in Cuba. The prisoners, who were captured in Afghanistan and Yemen, are being transferred to the United Arab Emirates for settlement.

There remain 61 prisoners at the camp, of whom at least 19 have been cleared for release.

    Americans are weird. I've never flown my countries flag, don't know anyone who has, and other then around the beginning of July when my nation was born, never see it except at government buildings and the Legion.
    It's not a matter of not being proud of my country, its more of a matter of it only being a country that I just happen to belong to due to no effort on my part.
