Title: Harmless, hardened alike housed at Guantanamo - Who will take them?

According to recent Pentagon figures, the controversial facility houses about 100 Yemenis, 25 Afghans, about 20 Algerians, 17 Chinese nationals of the Uighur minority ethnic group and about a dozen Saudis. The rest mainly come from different places in Central Asia and the Middle East.

The Obama administration in February began reviewing each detainee's files, and Defence Secretary Robert Gates in February said there are between 50 and 100 detainees who are neither releasable nor able to be prosecuted.

Where are these 100 going? For how long?  How much?

Under the reviews completed by the Obama administration to date there are about 50 other detainees who have been deemed releasable.

Who are they, where are they going, and who's keeping an eye on them?  Maybe their watchers were axed during the recent Obama budget to get rid of programs that are not working?

Who made the decisions?  Who is responsible (same for Chrysler and GM closings, all the CZARs, maybe the Gitmo CZAR?  Someone not accountable to taxpayers?  People who work in the dark recesses of the Obama administration?)
