"As far as the prisoners go, they are being treated far better than anyone else would treat them."

I don't know. It LOOKS as if the British are turning 'em loose. I mean, they seem to be turning them over to the same government which let OBL go, which seems to be leaky at best.

And, they may get some pretty rough treatment. I wonder if the Afghans know, how they would judge these prisoners. A crime against the US wouldn't seem to be a crime against them.

My guess is that we'll be told they will be treated harshly, "Don't throw me into the briar patch", and will be turned free shortly exactly the way the Afghans helped the US close the borders, "The Afghans know the terrain and are taking the point on preventing escapes from the caves" and let 'em go.

We'll see.
