Obama wrestles with Guantanamo problem

Excerpt:

President-elect Barack Obama's transition team has begun the debate about how this might be done - while stressing that no decisions have yet been taken.

In broad terms, the idea seems to be to abandon the military tribunals authorised under the Military Commissions Act 2006. These have begun to get under way at Guantanamo Bay. A trial procedure would be set up within the United States instead.

At the same time, a renewed effort would be made to find countries willing to take those prisoners already cleared for release.

The first is a legal problem and the second a practical one.

Meanwhile, the question remains about what to do with the prisoners whose release has been approved. There is also a further group who are in limbo, with not enough presentable evidence against them nor confidence that they would not return to terrorist activities.

Despite considerable efforts, the US has not been able to persuade the home countries of the cleared suspects to have them back.

Often, of course, the prisoners oppose their home governments as much as they do that of the US and are seen a domestic danger.

Five human rights groups have now proposed that those prisoners whose home countries have refused to take them back should be taken in by European governments or the US itself.

Amnesty said that about 50 of the detainees currently held cannot lawfully be sent back to their countries of origin because "they would face a real risk of human rights violations such as torture or other ill-treatment". They come from countries including China, Libya, Russia, Tunisia, and Uzbekistan.

Just to be 'fair', should we give them back their weapons and ammo as we release them back into the Taliban?
