#1 I still believe Guantanamo has become a CIA recruitment centre.

#4 Actually, I think it sends exactly the right signal. "You're finally serious about dealing with the problems inside your border, so now you can have your people back to deal with them."

I'm sure Prince Saud got the message loud and clear.

#5 Put tracker collars on 'em and give 'em to the Saudis and see where they go.

#6 I don't know how much info we got out of them, but I am sure the Saudis will extract lots more. Arab news makes this out to be a great concession from the U.S. Government. These five are unlikely to be be-bobbing in downtown Riyadh real soon.

#7 Anybody know the distribution of nationalities of the Gitmo Gang? It would seem that once we know as much as what we expect to know from them, we could do the repatriation thing back to govts that may be interested in more detailed interrogation in accordance with their cultural norms. The population may then fall at Gitmo for awhile to make room for other people of interest.

#8 600+ from 42 countries. I couldn't get a breakdown by country. They are shipping some out (Afghans, Pakistanis, and (SURPRISE!) Saudis. But 30 more checked in yesterday. Enjoy summer camp, boys.
