Yemen wants its Qaeda back
2003-09-12
Deputy Foreign Minister Abdullah al-Radi was quoted Thursday as saying Yemen wants the United States to extradite 110 Yemeni suspects detained at the U.S. military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Speaking to the state-run Al-Wihda newspaper, al-Radi said Yemen would try the suspects once they have been extradited. The interview was the first time the Yemeni government had said the number of its citizens held in Guantanamo exceeds 100. Last year a government official spoke of some 70 Yemenis at the facility reserved for U.S. captives in the war on terror.
110? Out of a total of 660? But they'll put them on trial? How about if we keep them? None of them has escaped from Guantanamo yet.

#2  Send them back . . . disassembled and crated, like that MiG-25 that landed in Japan 'way back when.

#1  Why not try them in absentia, sentence them, and then we terminate them. Save transport cost.
