#1 "I have no reason to believe the Pakistani authorities when they say that my brother is still in Pakistan."
Oh, he's probably in Pakistan, but in a cell or a shallow grave somewhere. Gitmo? Why would he be worth the plane fare? Know something that you're not saying?

#2 The brother of an al-Qaida suspect who was detained by Pakistan has said he believes his brother is being held in Guantanamo Bay.

Then he shouldn't have any "fear" about his brother being there. Being in the hands of Americans is not quite the same as being in the hands of, say, the ISI. On the other hand, if his brother is in the hands of the ISI, he has plenty of reasons to be fearful.

#3 Perspective is altered by viewpoint, guys! This is from al-Jizz. Look at scarequotes:

... other "terrorism" suspects in the notorious US detention camp ...

If this was from a western source (except maybe AFP) it would have read:

... other terrorists at Guantanamo ...

Except maybe al-Beeb:

... other 'terrorism' suspects in the notorious US detention camp ...

#4 A whole bunch of British jihadis travelled to the Middle-East right as the WOT was beginning. Why would Tony Blair go out of his way to track down these people except to capture them?
