++President Obama asked Pope Francis' help in closing Gitmo during their talk together. Two more Gitmo inmates were released this week.
++According to the New York Times,771 were held at Gitmo,657 have been released. 114 remain. Of those remaining,53 have been cleared for release but 43 of them are from war-torn Yemen.
++10 have been convicted or are awaiting trial. 51 have been suggested for "indefinite detention". The problem with the 51 is that evidence has been deemed so corrupted because of "torture". The remaining inmates are said to be scheduled to be moved to a maximum security prison.
++So 61 out of 771 detainees at Gitmo may have been guilty of something. Pretty pathetic, especially when you throw in torture.
