RTÉ News: US military hopes to release children: "The commander of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp has said the US military is hoping to release three children it is holding there.

Interviews conducted with the children, who are aged between 13 and 15, reveal they may have been coerced into fighting in Afghanistan. "

Why are we holding children in Guantanamo Bay for God's sake? And why exactly would the commander be "hoping" to release them?

They should never have been taken there. And they should be released immediately.
