Center for Constitutional Rights:

“The court has acknowledged that the detention of these men is illegal but has refused to do anything about it. This is indefensible,” said Emi MacLean, staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights. “The new administration must act quickly to remedy the failings of the old. If President Obama is committed to closing Guantánamo, he must allow these stranded Uighurs into the United States. We are not in a position to ask for the support of other countries in accepting detainees from Guantánamo if we cannot share the burden ourselves. Freedom for these men is long overdue.”
