Why the hell has the Government expended so much time and political capital on securing the release of the so-called "British residents" from Guantanamo Bay? They're not even British residents, just people who lived here for a while. The three heading "home" were actually resident in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Africa when they were arrested on terrorism charges.
If they were so relieved about finding sanctuary in Britain after claiming their lives were in danger, why didn't they stay here? One of them converted to Islam and moved to Pakistan after 9/11.
Another said he left Birmingham to look for work in Afghanistan. As you do.
What sort of lunatic thinks he stands more of a chance of finding a job in Taliban country than Tamworth? Unless he's a beheading specialist or skilled at pushing brick walls on adulterous women.
The soppy Sarah Teather (Lib-Dem MP for Brent East) worked herself up into a lather of selfrighteous indig-nation over the detention of her 'constituent', who is linked to Osama Bin Laden's European "ambassador".
He's not your constituent, pet. He's not even allowed to vote. And if he were, it would have to be a postal vote since he was in The Gambia when the Americans felt his collar. Since then, he's been "resident" at Camp Gitmo.
Why the hell should we care what happens to any of them? We've got enough home-grown Islamo-nutters of our own.
Now we're going to have to house them, feed them, ply them with benefits and spend a small fortune on round-the-clock surveillance. It's not as if the anti-terror boys haven't got anything better to do.
Meanwhile, stand by for the sickening, sympathetic newspaper and TV interviews with these heroes, pleading their innocence and bleating about how they have been tortured.
