Time Magazine is reporting that the U.S. plans to release 140 of the 660 prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay. Time reported the government has accelerated its efforts to release prisoners after the Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge to the constitutionality of the detentions. None of the foreigners at Guanatanamo have been charged with a crime and they have been denied the right to legal counsel. The U.S. has refused to consider them prisoners of war which would award them some legal rights under international law.
