Oman says it has accepted 10 inmates from the US prison at Guantanamo Bay ahead of President Barack Obama leaving office.

[...] Oman said it accepted the prisoners at Obama's request. It did not name the prisoners.

"To meet a request by the US government to assist in settling the issue of the detainees at Guantanamo, out of consideration of their humanitarian situation, 10 people released from that prison arrived in the Sultanate of Oman for a temporary residency," a foreign ministry statement said.

19 of the remaining 55 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay were cleared for release just days ago.

    Ten rules of almost anything:

    1. Politicians always lie.
    2. Politicians always double down.
    3. Politicians always project.

    Wasn't the rules of jmorris, or something, just a little while ago? Cretans? Bueller?

      That's Aristarchus. Don't bother reading the comment, but mine out some words out of context to try and make it say whatever you like, then cry like a little baby about being modded down for the obvious crap posting.
