Among them was Fahd Ghazy, who has been imprisoned at Guantánamo since he was just 17 years old.
“Almost 14 years ago to the day, Fahd arrived at Guantánamo as a boy, shackled and hooded,” his attorney Omar Farah said in a press statement. “Today — finally — he is free.”
As for Fahd Ghazy, he is now 31.
“There was never much doubt that Fahd’s imprisonment was unnecessary — he was cleared for release nearly a decade ago — yet he grew up at Guantánamo waiting for successive presidents to correct a glaring injustice,” his lawyer, Omar Farah said.
Ghazy can now reclaim his life.
“I am not ISN 26,” he said. “That is the government’s number. My name is Fahd Ghazy. I am a human being, a man who is loved and who loves.”

This is what I meant when I said that Obama owns this mess.... Half the time that Ghazy was held was under Obama's regime. And Ghazy was cleared for release that entire time.
