Ever heard of innocent until proven guilty?? Is that not the corner stone of any civilised democratic country!
Before we label these guys criminals, let’s remember that no evidence of any wrong doing has (as yet) been presented against either of them. Oh sorry, I forgot the Americans have branded them 'unlawful combatants' and so they must be guilty!!!..... Yeah right, like the yanks never twist the truth for their own benefit!!....Are you watching\reading any quality news at the moment??
Learn the facts.
After the Afghan war the Northern Alliance rounded up all foreigners and handed them to the Americans as they (the Americans) paid a bounty for each head the Alliance could hand over. They were taken to Guantanamo primarily for interrogation; naturally many innocents were caught in this web. Only today 11 so called terrorists were released from Guantanamo and returned to Pakistan.....without any charge!!!
One of the British detainees was in fact a teacher and had gone to Afghanistan to run a small school (with his wife) helping to educate kids which have known nothing but war (you can look this up). Was he entirely innocent? I genuinely don't know...however he deserves the right to a fair trial like any human being. Why is it the American Taliban got to have a trial in America?? Are Brits not entitled to the same justice?
Before talking about costs to the UK tax payer of incarceration, bear in mind these wars have so far cost the UK 5 billion quid (and a number of our soldier's lives).... 9\11 was a despicable act, but this wasn't our fight!!! Did the yanks ever steam into Ireland??? Or cease funding via NORAID to the IRA...We've been bombed and killed by them for decades!!
Unless you're willing seek more informed sources of information and develop the ability to form measured and balanced opinions on such matters, I suggest you stick to chatting about super chargers and tyres etc on this forum.
