Six Yemeni and four Afghan detainees were sent over the weekend to their home countries while two Somalis were transferred to regional authorities in Somaliland, an self-governing region within Somalia, the department said.
The transfers are the latest from the controversial prison President Barack Obama has pledged to close next month, but that deadline will likely be missed because of diplomatic and political hurdles.
The transfers to Yemen are likely to revive concerns about moving individuals who were once considered terrorism suspects to a country where U.S. officials believe that al Qaeda elements are active.
Additionally, there have also been concerns about Al Qaeda activities in Somalia. In contrast, the breakaway region of Somaliland has enjoyed relative peace compared to the rest of Somalia since the Horn of Africa nation descended into chaos in 1991.
"These transfers were carried out under individual arrangements between the United States and relevant foreign authorities to ensure the transfers took place under appropriate security measures," the Justice Department said in a statement.|||Brilliant move on the heels of the Ft Hood terrorist attack. Way to go Hussein!|||They should be tried in a military court and receive just punishment for their war crimes. However the far left liberals want to coddle them and treat them like victims, give them the rights of american citizens, and dismiss the murders and atrocities they committed. These people are so dangerous that their respective countries do not want them back, and yet the ACLU and the communist inspired far left liberals want them to be made all comfy in the USA. Go figure.|||I think that it is a bad move and saying that Bush did it too doesn't change anything. If Bush did send some of them back to their home country I still say that it was a bad move then and it's a bad move now|||No. They will only regroup and strengthen their terrorist strategies. Obama is unqualified as president of the United States. This is just one more example.|||Not to their countries of origin, because by and large, they can't be trusted to prevent them from rejoining terrorist causes.|||Not to worry, the countries that they are being sent back to don't want to deal them either, so they just shoot them on arrival.|||Real transparency huh? Done under the cover of darkness like the health care bill will be done tonight! Where's the CSPAN of the reading of this bill??|||It is always important to be knowledgeable of the issues.
Many countries WON'T take them back.|||Only after decapitation or castration, their choice .|||If they're really terrorists they need to be sent to the gallows.|||We should put them all in to a used sea-land container and drop them into the middle of the ocean.|||Bush sent HUNDREDS of detainees home. Many of them started fighting against the US again.|||Were their personal belongings returned? Suicide belts etc...|||If they've been turned, yes. We need better info.|||They should be returned home.
From 30,000 ft, at 600 mph, the Slim Pickens method.|||No, They should shoot their A%26amp;%26amp;. Period.|||Lets eat em.|||They will be back fighting in no time
I say we make them all eunuchs and lock them up for 30 years with Perez Hilton, plus that'll really piss them off when they meet those 72 virgins and can't function|||Yes!...in a pine box!|||I love MOST of the answers.
however I think we need to send them on THE plane with Nancy Pelosi...and make sure only volunteers serve to fly the plane...maybe we can see if Obama wants to ride too. heckipoo send most of congress...
make sure it is publicized and they fly them back overseas somewhere...so the crash doesn't land here.. of course it might make a nice dive site...
Maybe we casn custom paint the plane and get Target to pay for it..a nice big red bulleye for "Target" practice.
I'm so smart I scare myself...
C'mon help me add to my scenario...|||I have a better idea. It'll solve the problem and be a hell of a lot of fun, too.
On Monday nights at halftime, we have a "Country of Origin Lottery." What we do is, line up these animals in front of a live t.v. audience. Then have them throw a dart at a world map while blindfolded.
Where ever the dart sticks, that's where we send them. Just strap a parachute to 'em, and throw 'em out of the plane as we fly over.
With any luck at all, the chute won't open, but either way, they are out of our hair.
Not a perfect solution, but it's better than what we got planned, right?|||They cannot send all 200 prisoners back to their own countries, so 100 of them are schedule to go to Illinois. I am sure the U.S. makes the decisions about who should return home, not the sovereign country. So anyone who may be too radical would not go home again.
I am glad all is going smoothly and we should close down the torture chamber in Cuba. What an insult to the Cuban people.|||Suspects and not proven guilty it appears.
If there is no evidence to convict they should be sent back to where they were kidnapped from, unless of course you want to start doing what the nazis did.
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, doesn't make a perosn a terrorist.
