Binyam Mohamed, who was questioned by British police Monday after being released from the US detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, has been freed and faces no further action, the Metropolitan Police said.

"He's now been released full stop, that's the end of it," a police spokesman told AFP. His lawyer Clive Stafford Smith also confirmed he had been freed.

Mohamed, an Ethiopian-born former British resident, was the first Guantanamo prisoner to be transferred under US President Barack Obama.

Sad to see how far our British cousins have slipped.

I'm quite sure we'll see him once again in the near future...

Or more likely we'll find pieces of him in a school or a shopping mall.

Yes, except next time we’ll give him a much better retirement, to our liking. He’ll never see Gitmo again. He’ll be scorpion food.

Hopefully it will be in the parking lot where the detonation was premature and he was the only casualty.

But Mr Mohamed has insisted the only evidence against him was obtained using torture. Last year the US dropped all charges against him.

Mr Mohamed was said to be very ill as a result of a hunger strike in the weeks before his release, while US authorities were reviewing his case.

So he was tortured with Lemon Chicken and Rice Pilaf so stopped eating and got sick.

He tortured himself, he should brought up on charges.

It's about time somebody admitted torture happened at Gitmo, how ironic it was an terrorist inmate!

Even a Democrat Clinton Lackey can't counter the "no torture" facts:

Rep (R) Duncan Hunter was on Fox News Sunday.  I caught the whole debate as Hunter discussed the treatment of prisoners with Tom Malinowski, a former Clinton Administration Official who now works for Human Rights Watch.

Rep. Hunter was pretty awesome - best line was how on Monday inmates at Gitmo would be dining on Lemon Chicken and Rice Pilaf while our men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan were eating MREs.  I don't think the transcript is up yet.

We are treating the inmates - many of whom killed our troops in the 'stan and include the 20th hijacker from 9/11 - better than we treat many of our troops, our criminals in our prisons, etc.

Malinowski, like most who oppose the administration's detention and interogation methods, used innuendo and a lot of "over-the-top" allegations to make get their point across - "We are the bad guys".  Once the attention was drawn to his cause, he backed down over the fact that there has been no torture at Gitmo.  He also agreed that there hasn't been torture elsewhere but that the methods (using dogs to scare the 20th hijacker) were inhumane.
