Brits Say, "We don't want them"

The Guardian newspaper has learned of secret negotiations between the United States and Britain to return nine British citizens from Guantanamo. As a condition of their release, the US wants 24 hour surveillance of the men. The Brits say the men have no right to return to the UK. British officials also consider the US request for surveillance to be unwarranted and excessive. According to the Guardian the talks are taking place against a growing realization by the Bush regime that the gulag must be closed. Lawyers for the detainees say their clients are still being mistreated by being exposed to temperature extremes. The British Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer, has called Guantanamo a 'shocking affront' to democracy, and a recruiting agent for jihadists.
