| Sixteen Saudis return from Guantanamo Bay prison |
| 2007-09-07 |
| Sixteen Saudis returned home on Thursday after the United States released them from a prison camp at Guantanamo Bay where foreign terrorism suspects are held. The Saudi state news agency SPA said Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz “expressed his relief and appreciation for the cooperation shown by the authorities in the United States, hoping this leads to the return of the remaining Saudis.” Saudi public anger over the treatment of Saudi detainees in Guantanamo Bay has been high in the Muslim kingdom, a key US ally. Two Saudis were among three prisoners who hanged themselves at the naval base in June. Washington is reducing the numbers of people detained at Guantanamo Bay to move towards closing the camp, but SPA did not say how many Saudis remain there. Many of the men held at Guantanamo were captured in Afghanistan in the US-led war to oust the Taliban after the Sept. 11 attacks. Many have been held for years, most of them without charge. |

| #6 Do they pull the limos right up to the gate, or would that be a little too obvious? |

| #4 Many have been held for years, most of them without charge. They forgot about the part that many have been released, only to be killed or captured in later combat. Another reason to 'take no prisoners'. |
