LONDON - Prime Minister Tony Blair said Thursday he expected to resolve differences with the United States over the detention of nine Britons at Guantanamo Bay "within the next few weeks."

"It's a question of, as I said in the House of Commons yesterday, either you get a trial of these people which we can be satisfied meets the obligations that we've got, or alternatively they will come back here," Blair told a news conference.

The fate of the terrorism suspects held without charge or access to lawyers at the U.S. base in eastern Cuba has been a sticking point between close allies Britain and America for months.

Nine Britons are among the 660 people held at the Caribbean prison camp. The United States agreed in July to suspend legal action against them while officials discussed concerns about planned military tribunals.

1. Catch 22

If memory serves me correct.
Initially the tribunals will only try cases that have a guilty plea.
Ergo only the guilty get "punished"
Of course no plea, no trial
