This may come as a shock for you but 92% of GITMO detainees are not categorized as Al-Qaeda fighters. Only 5% of detainees were actually captured by American forces, the rest were either captured by bounty hunters, warlords, etc. 86% of detainees were turned over to Americans because of some sort of bounty offer. https://www.aclu.org/infographic/guantanamo-numbers
How they were categorized when they came into Gitmo isn't the issue really. The issue is more so how the remaining detainees are categorized.
If they have no nation that'll take them, what do you propose to do with them?
Obama is in charge What's the problem? Why not take anyone over 70 (old age) and under 25 (a child really), and just send them home. What's Obama's hold up?
