Why are we releasing people from Gitmo?

As I understand, these guys were picked up in battle, and are enemy combatants.

As I understand, they are all supposed to have military tribunals determine their status.

As I understand, the results of their trials would determine what happens to them. Meaning if found guilty, they serve a military prison sentence. Otherwise, would be set free.

My question is whether any of these guys had their day in court; were their cases adjudicated? Or did Obama just decide to be like a sports team general manager, and trade these guys for one of ours?

Does the president have the authority to do prisoner swaps in the first place?

That’s what I thought - hope he’s first on their list.
