What will happen to the remaining Guantanamo detainees?

In order for President Barack Obama to fulfill his aging campaign promise of shutting down the 12-year-old prison at Guantanamo Bay, he must charge, release or move the remaining 155 men there.

The Guantanamo Review Task Force, made up of representatives from the Defense Department, Justice Department and four other U.S. agencies, decided in 2010 that about half of the remaining detainees should be transferred to their home countries or other host countries to be resettled. The group decided 36 of the terror suspects, including accused 9-11 plotter Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, should be prosecuted. Finally, the task force believes 46 of the detainees are too dangerous to release, but does not have enough evidence to charge them. Even if the prison is shut down, the government would want to move these 46 men to another detention facility and keep them there indefinitely. (A special parole board created by the president will review the indefinitely detained cases periodically to see if any more prisoners should be prosecuted or transferred.)

Most of the nearly 80 men who have been cleared for transfer to other countries are from Yemen, which poses a problem for repatriation since the Obama administration until recently said the country was too unstable for any detainees to be settled there. Now, the government will consider sending detainees to Yemen on a case-by-case basis.

Using data obtained by Wikileaks and analyzed by the New York Times and NPR, we created this map of the remaining 155 detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, based on their 2010 Task Force status and home country. The map reflects the status of Gitmo prisoners as of the date of publication.
