Europeans balk at taking Guantanamo inmates for unwilling U.S.

In Washington, the Justice Department said Friday that three more Guantanamo detainees had been transferred.

The detainees were sent back to Saudi Arabia, their home country, where officials will review their cases before sending them to a rehabilitation program. One of them was identified as Ahmed Zuhair, a relatively high profile detainee who, has been protesting his detention since 2005 through a hunger strike and has been force-fed liquid nutrients.

During a hearing in Guantanamo in October 2004, Zuhair was accused of involvement in the 1995 killing in Bosnia-Herzegovina of William Jefferson, a U.S. official with the United Nations. At the tribunal, U.S. officials said Jefferson's watch was found on Zuhair.

Zuhair also was convicted in absentia by a Bosnian court in a 1997 car bombing in the town of Mostar. He also allegedly told another detainee he was involved in the bombing of the U.S. destroyer Cole in 2000, according to evidence presented at a Guantanamo proceeding.

I thought that 0Bama was only going to be releasing "innocent" detainees from GitMo? WTF are  we doing releasing an actual terrorist to his home country? Maybe this guy should have been sent to Bosnia to serve his sentence for his conviction there.

When, not if, Zuhair kills his next American(s), the press will cover that up quicker than a NY Times minute.
