Britain: We Don't Want Gitmo Detainees Back

One might ask what would happen to the terrorists if we gave the ACLU, Europeans and Democrats what they wanted and closed the prison at Gitmo. We would simply return the detainees to their respective countries, right? Unfortunately, no country wants these terrorists back. As the Guardian explains:

The United States has offered to return nearly all British residents held at Guantánamo Bay after months of secret talks in Washington, the Guardian has learned.

The British government has refused to accept the men, however, with senior officials saying they have no legal right to return. Documents obtained by the Guardian show US authorities are demanding that the detainees be kept under 24-hour surveillance if set free - restrictions that are dismissed by the British as unnecessary and unworkable.

I don't blame the Brits for not wanting their terrorist countrymen, but perhaps they will now simply shut up about Gitmo once and for all.
