US pays Palau $200 million to accept 17 Guantanamo prisoners
Palau to accept 17 Chinese Muslims from Guantánamo as 'gesture of thanks' to US
The remote Pacific nation of Palau has agreed to accept 17 Chinese Muslim prisoners held at Guantánamo Bay, giving the Obama administration a major fillip as it faces the complex problem of closing the controversial prison.
"Negotiations between Washington and the Palauans over the prisoners coincided with discussions about a $200 million (£120 million) renewal of a regular assistance package on which the island, a former US territory, depends".
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

We have a few islands around our shores, perhaps we should consider offering them to the USA, could be a nice little earner for us1
