U.S. allies impede Guantanamo releases: report

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Britain and other U.S. allies have demanded closure of the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, but have also blocked efforts to let some prisoners return home, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

 

British officials recently rejected a U.S. offer to transfer 10 former British residents from Guantanamo to the United Kingdom, arguing that it would be too expensive to keep them under surveillance, the newspaper said, citing documents made public this month in London.

 

Britain has also staved off a legal challenge by the relatives of some prisoners who sued to require the British government to seek their release, The Washington Post said.

 

While all British citizens in Guantanamo were freed starting in 2004, Britain has balked at allowing former legal residents of the country to return, the newspaper said.

 

Germany and other European allies, which have spoken out against Guantanamo, also have balked at accepting prisoners from the facility, the Post said.

 

Human rights groups have condemned U.S. practices at Guantanamo, where detainees have been held indefinitely without charge.

 

Some 335 prisoners have been transferred out of Guantanamo since the prison camp's creation in January 2002 and another 110 of the 440 still at the jail have been declared eligible for transfer or release, the Pentagon said.

 

The Pentagon has already freed all but a few European citizens from Guantanamo. However, U.S. officials have struggled to persuade Britain, Germany and other allies in Europe to accept prisoners who once had legal residency there, or who are effectively stateless, The Washington Post said.

Those Europeans are some hypocrites. Complaining about Muslim terrorist/Taliban prisoners that are Euro citizens being held at Guantanamo, and then when being offered by the U.S. to take them, they don't want 'em. I guess the Europeans just think they should be dropped off in a supermarket parking lot and let free so they can go back to planning more attacks.

I dont think they let people free that were actually planning terrorist attacks my man, I think the ones they let free are more than likely the randoms they just decided to capture in the heat of the moment that hadnt actually done anything except maybe have a sus friend or be in the wrogn place at the wrong time
