Irish interviewing Guantanamo men

The Irish government is talking to the US authorities about resettling two Guantanamo Bay Uzbek detainees.
There have been reports that officials will travel to the detention centre this week to interview the men.
The government had said it was willing to take some detainees, who cannot return home.
Amnesty International in Ireland has been running a campaign for Uzbek national Oybek Jamoldinivich Jabbarov to be allowed to come to Ireland.
He has been cleared for release, but cannot return to Uzbekistan for fear of torture and persecution.
It is understood that one of the men to be interviewed this week is Mr Jabbarov.
His lawyer, Michael Mone, told a US congressional committee hearing last year that Mr Jabbarov was living with his elderly mother and pregnant wife as refugees in northern Afghanistan when he was captured in 2001 and later transferred to the detention centre on Cuba.
The Uzbek had not been involved in fighting between the Taliban and the Northern Alliance and was most likely handed over for a bounty, he said.
In June, Ireland's Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheal Martin said they had told US authorities Ireland would accept two detainees to help close the detention facility, and two Uzbek nationals had been identified by the US.
"There is ongoing contact between the Irish authorities and the US authorities in relation to detainees from Guantanamo," a spokesman for the Department of Justice said.
Commissions
If admitted the men will probably be given leave to remain status.
Amnesty International said that Mr Jabbarov's wife and child were in a refugee camp in Pakistan and that he would be able to apply for them to join him.
US President Barak Obama has said Guantanamo Bay prison will close by 22 January 2010.
However, there are still a number of problems - what to do with the remaining detainees being the biggest.
Fewer than 20 out of about 245 inmates have been transferred from the detention centre in the six months since Mr Obama signed an order to close it within a year, the Associated Press news agency has reported.
More than 50 inmates have been cleared for transfer overseas. Mr Obama has said others will be tried by modified military commissions or in US courts.
But some cannot be returned to their home countries because of concern they will be tortured - and finding countries prepared to take them has proved difficult.
There is also the question of those who cannot be prosecuted under existing legal structures, yet who are deemed too dangerous for release.
The Guantanamo Bay detention centre was set up in January 2002 to hold suspects deemed to be "enemy combatants".
