IRELAND has agreed to take two of the prisoners from the American concentration camp at Guantanamo, Cuba because they cannot go back to their home country, Uzbekistan. The Americans would like us to think they have jailed only crazed Muslim terrorists in Guantanamo, but people should ask who were held there.

THE Pentagon said yesterday it has dropped war crimes charges against five Guantanamo Bay detainees after the former prosecutor in their cases complained that the military was withholding evidence helpful to the defence.

The US government was today accused of “farce” after dropping all charges against a British resident held at Guantanamo Bay.

STRUGGLING with orders to prosecute a young detainee at Guantanamo Bay, Army Lt Col Darrel Vandeveld went online and consulted a priest for help with his concerns about the fairness of the military tribunals.
