WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has held three child detainees at its military base in Guantanamo Bay for more than a year and the Pentagon (news - web sites) said on Thursday it has no plans to move or free them, despite international pressure.



A defense official said doctors estimated the boys were 13-15 years old and were deemed "enemy combatants" along with about 660 prisoners being held at the base in Cuba after the U.S. invasion in Afghanistan (news - web sites) in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on America.


"There has been lots of media speculation they were going to be moved out but that's all it has been, just speculation," the official told Reuters when asked if there were plans to move or release the teen-age detainees any time soon.

1. Hey, after 6 months of blindfolds, dog cages, and light "psychological"

torture, these boys could NEVER grow up to be terrorists.

Of course, once we electrocute them, they won't grow up at all.

3. I think this is one of the reasons why the Pentagon tried to smear that

Muslim Captain (not sure of rank) Yee, because he was trying to expose abuses at Gitmo. He has been relieved of duty and so far as I know, no new chaplain has been named to replace him. I think the Red Cross needs to try to get access to Gitmo ASAP.
