How can we be sure? From AP, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
PARIS — The United States has agreed to hand over to France the last three French detainees at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, judicial officials said Tuesday.The agreement was finalized just as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was to arrive in Paris for a meeting with President Jacques Chirac, the officials said on condition of anonymity.
Prisoner release to build confidence? Or he who fights, is captured, and sent on his way, lives to fight another day?
I don't see a happy "home-coming" for these terror suspects. These three are very likely to end up in prison, with no access to a lawyer, and for upto 3 years, without a charge being brought.
France treats terror suspects far more harshly then any other Western country. It also has laws that allow it to deport anybody it considers undesirable. Deportation generally takes place within a week of decision.
I doubt the seriosnous France will take issue on this.And to be deported does not sound helpful.
3 years with no charges or access to a lawyer hmmm...any idea what these guys from France were doing in the middle of a war zone?.....I do....they were fighting against us.
Cant wait to hear...."The rest of the story".
Well DP 11, Bush released four "Brits" from Gitmo to England,and Blair turned them loose within 24 hours, and now they are suing the US.
And this is fighting the war on terrorism?
Marseille is over 90% Muslim, French police are afraid to enter Muslim enclaves. Muslim women
protest about their treatment at the hands of the men, and Chirac does nothing.
And in England it is against the law to mention that a perp is a Muslim, or that people are victims of Muslim gangs, and that honor killings are common.
If reported Crimes are reported as being perpetrated by "Asians" (a euphemism for Pakistani's)
From BBC News
In Sheffield , a lone white student was walking home, and a large gang of Asian (pakistani muslim) youths . attacked him for NO REASON , they broke his jaw and nose. He has had a metal plate surgically installed in his face today.
This story will not be mentioned on the TV news, the men will not be caught, no members of the Muslims community will inform the police on identities.
This kind of thing happens every week in the Islamic Republic of England.
I have a friend who lives in Leeds, whose best friend was beaten up and killed by an "Asian" gang.
Yet it is a hate speech crime to mention, in a negative manner, that these perps are Muslims, even if it is a fact.
Originally enacted to stifle the speech of Holocaust deniers and neo NAZI antisemites, hate speech crime laws now provide protection for the worlds worst antisemites- the Muslims.
Elie Weisel look what you have wrought.
I wonder what is happening (unreported) in the US, a la headless bodies showing up, the cover up of the Coptic christians.
