Overview

Detainee Release: Legal and Moral ObligationsSince the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, the country has been in a state of war, in specific, a Global War on Terrorism. In the process there have been hundreds of people held in captivity by the US and its coalition partners. Eventually the detainees were transferred to the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which has housed over 700 detainees at one time that the US determined were too dangerous to release. The large numbers of detainees at Guantanamo Bay eventually gained a widespread level of international scrutiny once the glamour of the war efforts wore off. Since 2003, the Bush Administration and the Pentagon alike have had to work hard to maintain a proper level of understanding among the international community with regard to the treatment of the detainees and their rights. It is in the area of the detainees rights that have brought a black cloud over the US, which will linger until the war is over, and possibly forever.There has been a dramatic push by the administration in recent years to eliminate the detention facility at Guantanamo, but there have been numerous obstacles that arose, making the task at hand not so simple.
