im still waiting for rumsfelds gitmo speech about "unknown knowns, that we dont know we know"
as far as the 'illegal combatants' are concerned, the US adminstration can 'render' prisoners over for interrogation, however, they cant hand them back if the US knows that they will be tortured (in the case of the Uighur chinese prisoners). finding a political solution for such prisoners would be a handful for any country.
in the case of david hicks, the australian prisoner in gitmo. he has not broken any australian laws nor international laws, and the prime minister, forein minister and attorney general have all said that if he was to be returned to australia, there would be no law to keep him in captivity. but yet, they have been hesitant to ask for his return. and to think that he was in kosovo fighting with the blessings of the US military only a few years earlier.
