First they have not been proven to be innocent ;

What is the process for proving their innocence?

"This was a telling sign that the Obama administration is abandoning its long-held but little-fought-for promise of closing that notorious facility where a majority of prisoners proved to be innocent, often victims of bounty hunters in Afghanistan during 2001 and 2002. With this new development, infinite detention has become ingrained in the woodwork of the government. "

In addition, Obama has tried to close GB and ship these prisoners to federal prisons in the states but Rs have refused to allow that to happen

It was very clear that Republicans would refuse to allow the issue to be moved to the domestic justice system when Obama declared his promise to close the Guantanamo Bay prison.

We go to war against other nations who deny civil liberties. Civil liberties are the cornerstone of a free people. Under the current developments we can detain individuals indefinitely, without recourse, which includes the possibility of extending that to inprisonment of American citizens under similar justifications. Just hire some contractors, or bounty hunters, to round up a type of person the Admin feels threatened by... then shift blame around ... "diplomatic issues," chyaa ok.

Personally, I doubt any of those guys would pass muster to be found innocent ... if there was a process, which there is not. And GB may be the best place for them, which is what we thought before President Obama made such a big stink about how wrong it was and promised to close GB. Some times it is good for leaders to eat a little crow... maybe this is one of those times.
