The U.S position on 'emancipating' Guantanamo Bay detainess
Sep 16, 2009, 21:05
Just heard a fascinating talk on PM today, where The 'U.S Special Envoy to Guantanamo Bay', Daniel Fried, stated that sure, the Obama admin wants to see the closure as proposed and promised.

He's even more OK to ask as many European countries, especially those who condemned GITMO, to take in their share.

He bargains along the lines of, 'you thought it was wrong, now here's your chance to help us put it right'.

However, he reminded us all that Congress does not allow for detainess to ever be released anywhere in the US, something he's sort of OK with, or at least reluctant to criticise.

He does not see anything amiss here at all, only that the morally, the onus is on 'the other lot', who ever they may be.


To be found here.
