#1 Sometimes the Brits are woefully, well, European. We should hold our ground on this, as it is precedent setting.

#2 How many of the detainees are Poms? I say send the Poms to the UK and let their government deal with them. The rest get the tribunal.

#3 Earlier tis year 4 or 5 were sent back to the UK. They were completely unrepentant but Brits let them go. Want to bet the UK government now spends 1-2 million pounds a year watching these jihadis?

#6 Moazzam Begg lost any protection afforded by the UK the moment he thought he was a hard boy and joined the Taleban. The sensible voice on the UK street is fairly pro-Gitmo.

#10 International Criminal Law Association.

So when the "association" meets, they sit around and discuss the fiction that is "international criminal law"?

I guess if you repeat something often enough it comes true. Or at least in LLL land it does.

#11 It seems to me that Britain's AG needs to worry about his own back yard, with many people of the caliber of Hookboy running amuck. The two in gitmo will not cause the UK government any problems, and they have meals and a cot that are paid for by others. Maybe he should quit kneejerking to the LLL and take care of business in his own country, which is being infiltrated as we speak by a 5th column the size of a semi.
