The official confirmed that Salim Hamdan would serve in Yemen the remainder of his sentence handed out to him by a U.S. court for providing material support for terrorism.
He declined to give further details.
The United States sent home Hamdan, the first prisoner to be convicted in a full trial of the widely criticised tribunals set up by the Bush administration and the U.S. Congress to try non-Americans on terrorism charges outside civilian and military courts at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
In the first U.S. war crimes trial since World War Two, Hamdan was convicted in August of providing personal services in support of terrorism, by driving and guarding al Qaeda's leader.
Hamdan was sentenced to 66 months in prison but given credit for some of the time served at Guantanamo, so that his term was set to end by December 31. The Pentagon said the remaining weeks of his sentence would be served in Yemen.

Why the goverment dont arrest his family members who have bussines here in the US ? and send them to Guantanamo to be torture.
In the film of Michael Moore fahrenheit 911 the secret service protect 24/7 the binladen family here in the US.

The family and the terrorist are two entirely different things. If you had a family member go insane and go rouge... go as far as ban him from the country you live in and have an international restraining order on that person...
Would you get upset if you were blamed for what your insane family member did?
I sure as hell would.
But hate if you want... if it makes you feel "big, bad, or in control.. or whatever."-
