It seems the old septics would like to close it down but they are having trouble finding homes for the campers. Now I thought they where all througgly decent chaps being miss treated by the nasty old yanks so why are they having such trouble? Perhaps we short start a "give a part time terrorist a home" appeal, any thoughts?

The Americans have tied themselves into terrible knots with the Gitmo Torture Centre.

Odd that they cannot prosecute the remaining guests (presumeably because they do not have any evidence), yet they do not want to hand them to countries that will set them free.

Maybe they are fearful of the horror stories these people will tell if they were to be freed.

OK tw&tjam, I have read the question *******, ok if you have sh1t for brains I'll spell it out. Why have they got a nimby attitude if they are such thouroughly nice blokes?

[R1Geezer]

I meant article of course. Anyway why do sanctimonious prats like you pick up on some technicality rather than answering the smegging question. Who lookls stupid now? What a pl0nker!

[cazzz1975]

[R1Geezer]

Well not proof as such but certainly an indicator that their own probably think they are.

"Their own" - The authorities in their respective nations. sorry if my metonymy has confused you.

The majority of the 270 prisoners in Gitmo are Yemenis or Saudis. The US has no extradition treaty with Yemen, and the Saudis have a nasty habit of releasing the return prisoners who become heroes and celebrities.

"the Bush administration "wants to flush as many men out of Guantanamo as quickly as possible � as Guantanamo has become such an international badge of shame"."
