Bush 'would like to empty Guantanamo detention centre'

Camp David: US President George W. Bush on Friday said that he hoped to "empty" the US-run prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by sending some detainees home and trying the most dangerous in US courts.

Bush said he understood concerns about the facility raised by visiting Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and told reporters "I assured him that we would like to end the Guantanamo; we'd like it to be empty."
