This is so sad. These men did nothing, and they’ve lost everything… friends, family AND country. Why oh why can’t the people that brought this about, from Bush right on down to the lowly idiot that voted for and still believes in Bush,.. why can’t they be renditioned? I’m not talking long. Just a couple of years or so.

It all falls back on something I posted once before regarding sympathy (democrats consider everyone while republicans consider only themselves). Many republicans just do not have the capacity to feel true sympathy towards anyone except the closest of friends and family. To hell with anyone else! The few republicans that do have the capacity to care for others, are speaking out against this administration today.

82 inmates cleared but still held at Guantanamo

U.S. cites difficulty deporting detainees

LONDON - More than a fifth of the approximately 385 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have been cleared for release but may have to wait months or years for their freedom because U.S. officials are finding it increasingly difficult to line up places to send them, according to Bush administration officials and defense lawyers.

Since February, the Pentagon has notified about 85 inmates or their attorneys that they are eligible to leave after being cleared by military review panels. But only a handful have gone home, including a Moroccan and an Afghan who were released Tuesday. Eighty-two remain at Guantanamo and face indefinite waits as U.S. officials struggle to figure out when and where to deport them, and under what conditions.

‘Not their problem’
Compounding the problem are persistent refusals by the United States, its European allies and other countries to grant asylum to prisoners who are stateless or have no place to go.

“In general, most countries simply do not want to help,” said John B. Bellinger III, legal adviser to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. “Countries believe this is not their problem. They think they didn’t contribute to Guantanamo, and therefore they don’t have to be part of the solution.”
