Some Gitmo Prisoners Don't Want to Go Home

Some Gitmo Prisoners Don't Want to Go Home By BEN FOX Associated Press Writer March 6, 2006, 6:46 PM EST SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Fearing militants or even their own governments, some prisoners at Guantanamo Bay from China, Saudi Arabia and other nations do not want to go home, according to transcripts of hearings at the U.S. prison in Cuba. Uzbekistan, Yemen, Algeria and Syria are also among the countries to which detainees do not want to return. The inmates have told military tribunals that they or their families could be tortured or killed if they are sent back. President Bush has said the United States transfers detainees to other countries only when it receives assurances that they will not be tortured. Critics say such assurances are useless. The U.S. has released or transferred 267 prisoners and has announced plans to do the same with at least 123 more in the future. Inmates have told military tribunals they worry about reprisals from militants who will suspect them of cooperating with U.S. authorities in its war on terror. Others say their own governments may target them for reasons that have nothing to do with why they were taken to Guantanamo Bay in the first place. A man from Syria who was detained along with his father pleaded with the tribunal for help getting them political asylum -- in any country that will take them. "You've been saying 'terrorists, terrorists.' If we return, whether we did something or not, there's no such things as human rights. We will be killed immediately," he said. "You know this very well."

First the usual suspects are upset by that the US has prisoner's at GITMO. Now the usual suspects are worried that if the terrorists are sent home they will be tortured and killed. I can see where this is going right from the get-go. The moon-bats will want to give these terrorists asylum in the US.
