Some detainees, cleared of being terrorists, already are enjoying life in Bermuda and more are headed to Palau.
Italy will consider taking in at least three detainees from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, an aide to Silvio Berlusconi said Monday ahead of the Italian premier's meeting with President Barack Obama.
Obama has been banking on foreign countries to take in some of the detainees who cannot go to their own countries for fear of ill-treatment, and on moving others to maximum security prisons in the U.S. mainland.
The Berlusconi aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the two leaders would discuss Italy's offer to consider accepting at least three of the prisoners from the detention center in Cuba, although it would want to evaluate each individual case first. Last month, Italy's foreign minister, Franco Frattini, said Italy was considering a U.S. request to take two Tunisian prisoners from Guantanamo Bay. MSNBC
