Meanwhile the U.S. has released five Chinese Muslim men from Guantanamo — more than two years after the Pentagon determined they had no ties to terrorists. The Bush administration said the men could not be sent back to China out of fear they would be persecuted. Last week Albania agreed to take the men. On Thursday lawyers made public a letter one of the men wrote to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in January. The man identified as Ahmed Doe wrote, '’It is very hard to understand that I am still languishing in a prison with very little rights even after being found innocent. He went to write, “It is beyond my reasoning … that a nation like the United States that has an agenda to promote and protect democratic rights of the oppressed people would treat anyone the way that I have been treated.'’
