By a Staff Writer

JEDDAH, 31 August — The parents of two Saudis held at a US military base in 
Cuba have expressed happiness over efforts made by the Saudi authorities to 
win freedom for their sons.
The two Saudi fathers told Al-Watan daily that they had received letters 
from their sons Jaber Hasan Al-Qahtani, 24, and Abdullah Hamid Al-Mosleh, 
23, in Guantanamo.
"They said they were in good health and were treated well by the 
Americans," the daily quoted the parents as saying.
In their letters, Jaber and Abdullah expressed optimism that their ordeal 
would end soon.

AU's Hicks and Habib are incommunicado,no lawyers,no letters.
US authorities have refused to give the detainees in Guantanamo 
prisoner-of-war status as set out under the Geneva Conventions and are 
reserving the right to present them before secret US military tribunals 
that have the power to impose the death penalty.
