PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, SEEKING TO REASSURE EUROPEANS OVER THE TREATMENT OF PRISONERS AT GUANTANAMO BAY, SAID ON WEDNESDAY THAT HE WANTED EVENTUALLY TO SHUT THE PRISON AND SEND INMATES BACK TO THEIR HOME COUNTRIES, REUTERS REPORTED. AUSTRIAN CHANCELLOR WOLFGANG SCHUESSEL SAID EUROPEANS WERE CALLING FOR THE CLOSURE OF GUANTANAMO BAY, BUT THEY HAD ALSO RECEIVED A COMMITMENT "NO TORTURE, NO EXTRAORDINARY OR EXTRATERRITORIAL POSITIONS TO DEAL WITH THE TERRORISTS." "I'D LIKE TO END GUANTANAMO. I'D LIKE IT TO BE OVER WITH," BUSH SAID AT A NEWS CONFERENCE AFTER TALKS WITH EUROPEAN UNION LEADERS. "ONE OF THE THINGS WE WILL DO IS WE'LL SEND PEOPLE BACK TO THEIR HOME COUNTRIES." HE GAVE NO TIME FRAME.
