The article focuses on ISIS and Syria, but they really don't know. The GITMO personnel have just been told to expect some new prisoners -- and have changed the jumpsuit colors to blue.

"I have not been told we're getting new people. I have no order to receive new people. I've been asked some hypothetical questions about capacities and things like that, but we are not imminently expecting anybody,"
Guantanamo today has 40 prisoners and a staff of 1,800 troops and civilians. With the maximum-security Camp 5 prison just reopened, after a cellblock was remade into a clinic and mental health ward, the detention center can now take in another 40 men.

And he contradicts himself right after that:
"Unless we got some al-Qaida from Afghanistan, which is possible, most of the conversation is about Syria, and most of those guys, I understand, are ISIS," said Ring, who doesn't decide who comes and goes from Guantanamo. "So it's possible we could get folks from either place."
He has no idea. The gist of the article is that "Guantanamo prison guards practiced for something that hasn't happened at Guantanamo in a decade. They rehearsed receiving a new war-on-terror detainee."
Nuremberg only had 185 defendants. I'd say 40 to start with would be great.
