US to transfer a third of Guantanamo detainees
2006-03-02
US military authorities plan to transfer about a third of the detainees at the Guantanamo "war on terror" camp to their home countries after a review carried out over the past year, a US military officer said.

The Defense Department has concluded that 119 detainees did not need to be held at the US naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and would be taken into custody by countries where they hold citizenship, Navy Captain Tom Quinn told reporters here on Tuesday. Another 14 detainees would be released outright because they no longer presented a threat to the United States and offered no "intelligence value," Quinn said.

#8  It's the Navy...send them all home in a leaky dhow!

Anyone notice the burg news: Iraq, Lybia, Algeria now Gitmo are all emptying prisons, today. GwB is on an alliance/capabilities tour. Paki has the JSOW, India can press forward (like they hadn't already) with their nuke program public news releases...and the Israeli's are quiet.

I wonder what's cookin. Hope it's sumptin sweet.

#5  Kind of gives me the creeps that they'll be in such good physical shape going back . . . guess they'll be missing their 3 squares now.

#4  I bet the ACLU wants to stop them from going home and demands they be made U.S. Citizens, be given a place to live, Food, Clothing, and of course a Pony.

#3  1. Return to place of capture.
2. Give 'em a chance to run.
3. "Shot while attempting to escape."

#2  Tag them, put a chip in them, track them. So when we find them on the next battlefield, we can lawfully off them. No need to waste some federal judge's time with briefs by the next agents of the enemy.
