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.

    No one's mind has ever been changed by being called an idiot.

    Its about making your idiocy crystal clear to anyone else who might possibly think your inane political theories are even remotely realistic.

    Fortunately even though you can't change someone's mind by calling them an idiot, you can easily sway people by having them watch you call other people idiots.
