There are approximately 240 detainees currently detained at Guantanamo.
While this decision will undoubtedly anger those who desire to end the commissions, there are two major policies that have been reversed from the Bush commissions that should mollify them: disallowing the use of hearsay evidence unless the source is proved to be reliable, and prohibiting the use of evidence obtained through "enhanced interrogation techniques." While my initial reaction is disappointment, I am reserving criticism until the Obama administration releases which trials are going to commence under the new rules.
