Hey, you're listening to Radio Lab.

This is Latif Nasser.

And what I have for you today is some breaking news.

So you might remember last year, my colleagues and I brought to you the story of a man with my name.

Of Dlatif Nasser.

Detaining 244 at Guantanamo Bay.

He would have killed me.

Would he have cut your head off on a video if you'd have been instructed? Lo, duh. Labelled the worst of the worst by the United States government. People who've committed crimes tend to lie about it. Detained for almost 20 years. That's why he's still at Gitmo. Who then was cleared to leave. He's innocent. You have to take everything the CIA says with a pinch of salt.

I know he was beaten many, many times.

Opened up a hendora's box of horrific truths about American justice.

But because of politics and a bureaucratic snarl at a crucial moment...

And we're going to load it up with some bad dudes.

Got stuck at Guantanamo anyway.

He's somebody who should be home.

He should have been home a long time ago.

And here's what we have to tell you.

After 19 years, he's out.

The U.S. government has transferred Abdulah Latif Nasser out of Guantanamo.

We don't know much else yet other than that as you hear this, Abdul Latif has touched down

on the tarmac in his home country of Morocco. For those of you that have listened to the series, you know what a big deal this is.

I mean, they haven't let anyone out of Guantanamo Bay in years.

For those of you who have not heard the series, this is a real prime time to catch up.
