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?!

At this risk of being very unpopular, I'd point out that -regardless of their innocence or otherwise - it would be virtually impossible to try them under UK law without creating a horrendous legal and political mess.

The cynic in me suggests that might well have had a part to play.

Mainly because there's no evidence against them, what with them being innocent and everything.
