GENEVA (AP) -- The Red Cross expects to meet for the first time 14 high-level terrorism suspects who were recently transferred from CIA secret prisons to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, at a visit to the camp starting next week, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.

Antonella Notari, chief spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross, said officials will arrive Monday for a scheduled two-week visit to Guantanamo. The ICRC is the only neutral agency with full access to Guantanamo detainees.

''There is no reason to believe that there should be a problem seeing these detainees in the course of the visit,'' she said. ''The priority of the upcoming mission is to talk in private and to register the newly transferred detainees and to provide them the means to communicate with their family members through Red Cross messages.''

Our fearful "leader"'s worst nightmare. Hence the rush to pass some kind of legislation that will absolve him and his "professionals" from prosecution.
