The Justice Department has agreed to release a U.S. citizen it has been holding in solitary confinement who has never been charged with a crime. The man, Yasser Esam Hamdi, was detained in Afghanistan and has been categorized as an enemy combatant. A deal has been reached where Hamdi will be let go if he renounces his U.S. citizenship and moves to Saudi Arabia where he was raised.
