TIME: Inside Barack Obama's Plan to Close Guantanamo
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1941141,00.html?cnn=yes

Obama's plan is expected to include measures that will anger both the right and the left in Washington. For example, up to 90 suspected terrorists could face indefinite detention, a Bush tactic sharply criticized by human-rights activists and also by Obama himself during his presidential campaign. But conservatives will be infuriated by the prospect of some detainees being released entirely — Administration officials expect some Yemenis who were once thought to be dangerous to win habeas corpus cases currently under way in Washington, D.C., courts. Other detainees will be repatriated to face trial in their home countries, which will lead either to jail or release. And some detainees will be transferred to third countries, most of them European, for trial or "supervised release," according to those familiar with the plan.
