Two former Guantanamo prisoners, extradited to Russia in 2002, have been detained in Moscow on suspicion of preparing a series of terrorist attacks, the Vremya Novostei newspaper reported Tuesday.Five of Seven? If anything, it looks like the Bush policy of releasing prisoners is a failed one. More Gitmos please!The two Russian citizens, Airat Vakhitov and Rustam Akhmyarov, who were seized in a counter-terrorist operation in Afghanistan and kept at the Guantanamo base in Cuba with other Taliban and terrorist suspects, and then extradited home to Russia, have been detained and are now being held in a Russian detention centre.
They are charged with preparing and carrying out a series of terrorist acts in the Central Russian Povolzhye region.
Three other former Guantanamo prisoners have been detained in Russia’s Tatarstan Republic on the same charges, the paper adds.
All in all, of the seven Russian Guantanamo prisoners extradited from Cuba in 2004, only two are not in custody.

They were lucky to have gotten to stay at Gitmo.

Good thing we have the ACLU pushing to get these poor victims out of Gitmo. What a great organization, always looking to make the world a better place.
The Russians will know how to handle these guys, they don’t pee on the Koran, they pee on the pork sausage gruel they serve them for lunch
