Youngest Guantanamo inmates freed
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3442781.stm

The United States has released three teenage boys who have been held in custody at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba for more than a year.

The three boys, believed to be aged between 13 and 15, were sent back to their unnamed country of origin.

The US Defence Department said the boys no longer posed a threat to the United States, and they had no further value as suspects for interrogation.

BushCo is trying to "make nice"..."Hey! We let'em go! :-)

Yeah, right....as if that alters the fact that these children were held for well over a year as "enemy comabtants". Geneva Convention better bite the little smarmy BFEE bastards in the ass. I have never held such antipathy and disgust toward a US administration since the Nixon years.
