The Washington Times is reporting that the Obama Administration is due to release two more detainees from Guantanamo Bay in the coming days:

The overnight announcement from the White House comes on the heels of a similar decision made by Mr. Obama just a few days ago to free five Gitmo prisoners. Those five were arrested in Pakistan after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on U.S. soil, but never charged.

According to the New York Times, the move is part of an overall strategy by the president to fulfill his campaign pledge to close Camp X-Ray. Obama was unable to garner enough support to close the detainee center from Congress in the first six years of his presidency, so his new unilateral strategy appears to be to deport the prisoners and "outsource" the job of keeping them detained.

In a series of secret nighttime flights in the last two months, the Obama administration made more progress toward the president’s goal of emptying the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, than it had since 2009. The accelerated pace came after an era of political infighting and long bureaucratic delays.

Now 127 prisoners remain at Guantánamo, down from 680 in 2003, and the Pentagon is ready to release two more groups of prisoners in the next two weeks; officials will not provide a specific number. President Obama’s goal in the last two years of his presidency is to deplete the Guantánamo prison to the point where it houses 60 to 80 people and keeping it open no longer makes economic sense.

The nationality of the inmates to be released this week is not known at this time.
