Hamdan gets 5.5 years, or six months

Salim Hamdan got a sentence of five and a half years, but with time served, that’s six months left.

Or does it?

Per the AP story:
It remains unclear what will happen to Hamdan once his sentence is served, since the U.S. military has said it won't release anyone who still represents a threat. The judge, Navy Capt. Keith Allred, said Hamdan would likely be eligible for the same administrative review process as other prisoners.

But, six months puts us into a new presidential administration. So, this will have to play out by ear.
