Guantanamo: "...in the hands of the countries of origin, for the most part."

“Our desire is not to have these people. ... Our goal is to have them in the hands of the countries of origin, for the most part,” Rumsfeld said.

the above comment by rummy regarding closing down guantanamo along with another comment by bush that, “We’re exploring all alternatives as to how best to do the main objective, which is to protect America," are both being interpreted as being open to the possibility... rummy's comment obviously followed a little "awareness" chat with the white house... in his previous statement the day before he said he was "unaware" of anyone in the Bush administration discussing closing the base in Cuba.

i'd like to know if having them "in the hands of the countries of origin" is an oblique reference to extraordinary rendition... i'm also curious about what "for the most part" means... but that's just me...
