He was arrested at the age of 15 (in 2002) and has done a plea bargain on charges that involved conspiring to commit terrorist acts and murdering US soldiers.
They say he will only be in prison for 8 years of the 40 year sentence, but if he was arrested in 2002m, that means 8 years have passed... do they mean 8 more years?

BO was making headlines, innit, but homie has to keep it open.
why?

Its easier to open such things than close them.
All the prisoners have to be relocated and many states dont want to take them, nor do many other countries.
Some of the peope, arrested had no beef with theUS - such as the Uighurs from china. But they cannot be released to china, as they will be arrested and tortured. Other countries with good trade links with China cannot take them either. In the end they were dumped on some island in the middle of the atlantic that was nominally under British control, but only the local administration was told, not the UK government. Allegedly.
There will be other such cases too, and also other people who did fight the US but cannot be convicted for whatever reason... "how dare they fight us when we bomb their houses... now we cant let them roam free".
So it is slightly complicated.

Because that was his plan.
