The United States has released four Afghan prisoners from Guantánamo Bay. All four will return to Afghanistan where they will apparently be able to live without restriction. Speaking to CNN, President Obama said he will do everything he can to close Guantánamo.

President Obama: “I’m going to be doing everything I can to close it. It is something that continues to inspire jihadists and extremists around the world, the fact that these folks are being held. It is contrary to our values. And it is wildly expensive. … We need to close that facility, and I’m going to do everything I can.”

Candy Crowley: “Right. You want them here in a supermax, right? That hasn’t changed?”

Presidnet Obama: “I think that it does not make sense for us to spend millions of dollars per individual, when we have a way of solving this problem that’s more consistent with our values.”

With the latest release, there are 132 prisoners left at Guantánamo.
