Sources: Bin Laden driver to be moved from Guantanamo

(CNN) -- The former driver and bodyguard of Osama bin Laden will be moved from the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on Monday, several U.S. sources told CNN.
Osama bin Laden's ex-driver, Salim Hamdan, will serve the rest of his sentence in Yemen, sources say.

Salim Ahmed Hamdan, who has been held at Guantanamo Bay for years, will be moved to his native Yemen to serve the final weeks of his sentence, the sources said.

Hamdan was convicted by a military commission in August of a war crime -- providing material support to al Qaeda -- but was cleared of more serious terrorism conspiracy charges.

He was found guilty of being the terror leader's bodyguard and driver, and of receiving weapons training and transporting and delivering arms. However, the commission rejected charges that Hamdan conspired with others in carrying out al Qaeda attacks, including those of September 11, 2001.

1. It was bound to happen.

B*sh screwed the pooch inasfar as any legitimate calling to account for ANY of these guys. The torture invalidated any and all future prosecutions for terrorism for this crowd.

Regardless of guilt.

2. out of the frying pan, into the fire

Hamdan received a 66-month prison sentence, which was due to be completed by the end of the year, because he had received credit for time served before being found guilty.

He'll be looking over his shoulder ( or keep his eyes on the skies )the rest of his life
however long that may be.

3. He'll go back and be a hero to many of the disaffected and angry.

5. Or he will go into the yemeni rendition system.

The reason to move him direct from the rightless-bubble of gitmo to some other fucked up prison system is to prevent him from ever having a chance to assert his human rights within US territory.

4. He was convicted of being Bin Laden's driver

so we can catch Bin Laden and convict him of being himeself.
