"China on Thursday rejected concerns that it would torture Chinese Muslims held by the U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay if they are returned to China, saying they will be dealt with according to the law.

China has called on the U.S. to repatriate 17 Chinese Muslim detainees who were to have been released this week, saying they are terrorists and should be brought to justice, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang told a news conference.

President Bush's administration is trying to find a country to accept the group and has said the detainees might be tortured if they are turned over to China.On Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said it would postpone release of the detainees for at least another week due to objections by the Bush administration."

What! Now the administration is worried about torture, of enemy combatants. Pot meet Kettle, kettle meet Pot.
