Five Pakistanis Freed From Guantanamo (Terrorists Released?)
Could it have been a mistake?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-3420452,00.html



ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Five Pakistani
prisoners arrived home Saturday after being freed
by American authorities from the U.S. detention
facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, officials said.

The men were captured in Afghanistan during the
U.S.-led campaign to oust the Taliban in late
2001, and were later shifted to Guantanamo Bay
to investigate their suspected links to al-Qaida, an
Interior Ministry official told The Associated Press.

The official said the men will remain in Pakistani
custody for a few days before being allowed to go
free.

``We believe that they had no links with any
militant groups, but we want to satisfy ourselves
before allowing them to go to their homes,'' said
the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

1. The story could be half-true...we are letting them out of Gitmo...
...but we may be shipping them to Pakistan for execution.

Hey, if we can ship people to Syria to be tortured, why not one step farther?

2. Others have been released after returning to PAK.

4. this could be setting up the release of Britons...
releasing others first makes would make it look less like special treatment..
