Britain will not take any more detainees from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp despite a plea from President Barack Obama for help from Europe.

David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, said that Britain had "done our bit" following the nine British nationals and six British residents already received or expected.
"Britain has given that help already," he said. "We have done our bit. We have played an important role in showing that this can be done in a safe and secure way."
European Union foreign ministers, meeting in Brussels, gave a warm welcome to the new US President's decision to close the camp within a year. But most were lukewarm about the idea of taking in non-Europeans that the US does not intend to put on trial and who cannot be sent home for fear they might be mistreated.
The issue has become an early test of Europe's relationship with President Obama.

“We’ve done our bit.”
Maybe the Farallones?
What an arss “o”
“...Once again, we need the British press for US news. (sigh!)...”
I have friends in the UK. They get their home country news from the US press.
Damn it! We should DEMAND that France, Germany and Belgium take all of them. They whined the loudest about GITMO.
Bingo! The Brits were the ones digging for the actual story while the US MSM covers up to protect their “boy” in the WH.
the one “O” I meant to say
We should inject them with nano transmitter/receivers before relasing them back into the wild. Maybe they’ll lead us to bigger fish.
If the Brits were REALLY smart, they’d round up as many of their Moos as they could find, and send ‘em one way to the US as a gift to Zero.
Really even after the Messiah asked they said no? I thought everyone would once again worship us because of him.
Some post Ha Ha kid from Simpsons, quick!
Zero the Moron signs a order, doesn’t know what it says, and now has civilzed countries telling him to pound sand.
Hey, send ‘em to the Saudis - I’m sure they’d LOVE to have them back.
I think they should move them all to Minnesota and Al Franken can explain to his (maybe) constituents how much he favored closing Gitmo. Or Yucca Mountain, so Harry Reid can tell his voters how we lost the war. (Actually I prefer Minnesota - one winter in the frozen tundra and I bet the thugs will be petitioning Zero to send them back to Cuba....
“uh, Greg....did I decide yet where we were going....to...um...send...these freedom fighters?”
Ready fire aim.
Dangerously unprepared.
Wrapped in a bacon strip first so they won't chew it out!!!
maybe we should talk to Nanci, Teddy, and Chucky and see if they want to take them.
“We should DEMAND that France, Germany and Belgium take all of them. They whined the loudest about GITMO.”
Even if those countries took them, they’d end up on terror missions here; nothing will stop them from coming in, because after all, that’d be “profiling.”
BTW, O-vomit today said the muslim world is full of “exceptional people,” while trashing the character of the USA.
Yeah, that would be nice but Obama will probably send them on their way with a big pile of money and a map of the United States instead.
I suspect they’ll end up being placed in American communities without the sheeple knowing it.
too bad- I was hoping they’d use some of those plush cells and advanced unharsh interrogation techniques used with the IRA
