BACKGROUND: Saifullah Paracha is the oldest man being held prisoner at the US-run detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He was finally able to make an appearance in front of a review board this week to make the case for his parole. Dozens of men remain imprisoned in Guantanamo. President Obama had made the closing of the facility one of his earliest priorities, but for various reasons had been unable to do so. In late February he announced another effort to shut it down.
