Aftenposten: SUDAN WELL-EQUIPPED AND READY TO SUPPORT THE RETURN OF GUANTANAMO DETAINEES
"The GoS told USG officials on 4-5 March that it is well-equipped and prepared to support the transfer of further Guantanamo (GTMO) detainees to Sudan, to include those individuals who are of higher threat to national security than those previously transferred. The National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS), as the key player for monitoring and ensuring the reintegration of returned detainees into Sudanese society, has proven that it is very capable in its abilities to keep returned detainees from reestablishing Islamic extremist links. NISS, and the GoS as a whole, has respected the USG-GoS Detainee Transfer Framework developed in 2007. The GoS reiterated its full commitment to this framework and is stands ready to absorb further detainee transfers."

Aftenposten: EX-GTMO DETAINEE SAMI AL-HAJJ SEES HEROS WELCOME IN DOHA
"Former Al Jazeera cameraman Sami al-Hajj, recently released from Guantanamo, arrived in Doha with great fanfare on May 31 via a chartered Qatar Airways flight from Khartoum. Greeted by Al Jazeera Chairman Hamid bin Thamer al-Thani, members of the AJ Board of Directors, and hundreds of well-wishers, al-Hajj received more than an hour of live coverage on Al Jazeeras Arabic channel. He delivered a short speech in which he claimed to have endured torture at Guantanamo, and to have witnessed U.S. soldiers denigrating Islam. He also claimed that the USG pressured him to spy for it against Al Jazeera. Al-Hajj said he did not hate the American people, and that several Guantanamo guards had even "become friends." Al Jazeera officials said in public and in private that al-Hajj will remain an employee of Al Jazeera, but in a capacity yet to be determined. Post expects al-Hajj to become a poster child for Al Jazeeras much-flogged devotion to media freedom, and to appear frequently on the channel to discuss his experiences at Guantanamo."
