KUWAIT CITY (AP) -- A Muslim extremist who spent nearly three years imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay was acquitted Wednesday of all terrorism-related charges by a court in Kuwait.

Nasser al-Mutairi, who was released in January only to face trial at home, was acquitted of joining foreign military forces without permission, harming Kuwait by serving the interest of a ''foreign country'' and undergoing illegal weapons training.

The charges do not name any particular country or force.

''The lawyer always told me I am innocent, and I expected to be acquitted,'' said al-Mutairi, 27, who had been free on bail.

1. Of course he was/will be acquitted.............

I suppose this is why Rumsfake, and Bushco don't want to free anyone from Gitmo or shut it down.

2. We've lost the grenade pin

Now we have to hang on forever or the grenade goes off.

3. McCain: Try them or release them

McCain has made one contribution to the discussion by pushing the concept that we need to try the detainees at Gitmo or release them.

4. Let me guess he's pissed about the quran not being detained for years...

7. It6's only 3 years

why complain

[Liberal Dose]

8. Three years of torture and two kinds of fruit. Such a deal!

[endarkenment]

9. and chicken, lots of chicken

But wait, i thought that these guys were all Really Bad People? I'm so confused. Oh, I see, it is just the rest of the 'detained' that are Really Bad People, murderers and such, people we cannot allow to actually go through the normal criminal justice system, as the normal criminal justice system is not set up to deal with Really Bad People.

I got it now. I'm going out to buy about 2000 flags to fly like the president told me so that everyone knows that I support our troops and our warm-terra and nobody thinks I ought to be on the list they are making.

[Liberal Dose]

10. Nothing says "Patriotic" like a pythonic empty gesture. Are you sure 2000

will be enough? Better throw in some yellow ribbons.

[DearAbby]

11. McCain should know what it is like to spend years in a CAMP

Should be demanding that these people have due process. This kind of treatment is not what America used to stand for.
