This was the most surprising part to me. I've read through a handful of the files and only a few of them seem to have any connection to anything useful; most were just caught up in "wrong place, wrong time" happenstances, like crossing the border into Pakistan on the heels of some "suspicious Arabs".
Most of these guys end up being recommended for release, but from my sample it was at least the better part of a year and often ~2 years before that would happen. Think of the wives and children left at home, almost definitely without any means wherewith to support themselves, while their father was black bagged for some frivolous reason.
