Obama has released another ten Muslim terrorists from Gitmo. There are still 45 terrorists left at Gitmo and chances are Obama will release most, if not all remaining before Friday. These 10 terrorists are headed to Oman, Jordan.

As the WSJ points out, there were 55 detainees remaining before the latest prisoner transfer to Oman.
Over the last several months, President Obama has released a total of thirty-one prisoners (including those recently released):
In August 2016, the largest single release under President Obama took place, when 15 men — 12 Yemenis and three Afghans — were released in the United Arab Emirates. Six of these men had been approved for release by Obama’s task force in 2010, and nine others had been approved for release by Periodic Review Boards. In October, another release took place — of Mohamedou Ould Slahi, torture victim and best-selling author, who had also been approved for release by a PRB, and in December another Yemeni approved for release by a PRB was freed in Cape Verde.
As 2017 began, President Obama released four more Yemeni prisoners — to Saudi Arabia, also promising to release between 13 and 15 of the 19 men approved for release before he leaves office and the uncertainties of Donald Trump’s presidency beg
in in earnest.
