The first two of the detainees at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba have been charged. They are Ali Hamza Ahmed Sulayman al-Bahlul of Yemen and Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al-Qosi of Sudan.

Mr Bahlul has been accused of saying bad things about America and producing videos glorifying the killing of Americans. That should make a few people in Hollywood nervous. There have been a lot of videos glorifying the killing of Americans coming out of there over the last few years. Mr Stallone having been involved in a number of them.

Mr Qosi has been accused of being an accountant. It is alleged he travelled with Bin Laden, serving as a driver and treasurer for the organisation. The Green Man suspects it was the beige turban that gave him away.

Boy the US military are certainly picking the fruit from the low branches first aren't they? One would have thought that there was some of those detainees who had done things like torture and kill people. Wouldn't you think they would be good ones to try for war crimes.
