  Possibly, but am I wrong? As far as I understand, this is quite a real problem: no country is willing to receive most of these prisoners, except countries to which the U.S. cannot reasonably send them. Public opinion in the U.S. is hostile towards accepting them as refugees. A few have been placed to Palau, because sending them home to China would be bad and Palau is in no position to refuse such a request. Is that fair? Hardly. In the U.S., lots of people in principle like to close Gitmo but in practice want the prisoners go to somewhere else, not settle as their own neighbours. Sorry, I don't have good advice for what to do.

    Tough shit. If they didn't want to take responsibility for these people then they shouldn't have interned them in the first place. Also, this definitely isn't hacker news but I'm glad it was brought to my attention anyway.

    Yes, you are wrong. Refugee status was invented for such people.
