In a White House speech on terrorism on September 6, 2006, President Bush said: ” ‘As we move forward with the prosecutions [of detained terrorists at Guantanamo], we will continue to urge nations across the world to take back their nationals at Guantanamo, who will not be prosecuted by our military commissions. America has no interest in being the world’s jailer.’ ”
