“UK police release Guantanamo four”

SNIPPET: “The four were held at Guantanamo Bay for nearly three years
Four British men held at Guantanamo Bay for three years as “enemy combatants” have been freed by UK police.

Martin Mubanga, Feroz Abbasi, Richard Belmar and Moazzam Begg were being reunited with their families at a location of their choice, police said.

The men, from Birmingham and London, were questioned at Paddington Green police station after returning from Cuba but were released without charge.

The US accused them of having al-Qaeda links and says they are still a threat.”

Okay, so this is the fault of the UK government.

The US released these four “upstanding” British citizens/immigrants in to the hands of the British police/government (probably following a campaign of serious diplomatic/political pressure).

Then, instead of taking a long, hard, look at whether they actually did have terrorist ties, they kissed their a$$es, handed them a pile of British currency and turned them loose to prey on their own country.

This sounds like a classic case of reaping what they have sown.
