"They should have either shot them or given to the British."
I'd rather they'd have been shot (after interrogation). Britain's record on dealing with terrorists - both foreign and domestic - is unenviable.
It may seem that way. But most of the open supporters of AL quaeda and the like are in our pay.
For the British it is a case of pride over the power of our passport. And also the lack of getting a fair trial did not help. Had it been in a US court then no one would have cared.
