According to the BBC, all of the British prisoners returned from Guantanamo have now been released without charge. Which begs the question... why has it taken two years to get to this point?!
Tell me about it...although, from reading some of the comments in the BBC website's 'have your say' section, it would seem that some UK citizens seem to be catching 'rabid nationilsm/I'm directly under threat' syndrome...the dolts... :-(
Looking at the BBC story, btw, it seems one of the released men was already in a Taliban jail - picked up on the border and accused of spying for the UK - when the US invaded Afghanistan... and decided that he must be part of the Taliban.
You've got to love military "intelligence", haven't you?
