i was drunk when i posted the above which is far too ranty. i wqas refering to 'bin laden's right hand in europe' who is STILL hanging on here and the other 8 or 9 who should not be in our country. They could have left prison anytime if they left the country. The other fellow referred to who released last week has only very tenuous ties to the uk and has not been a 'british resident' for a number of years. Now, 'for whatever reason he went to afghanistan' -the reason he gave for being in afghanistan was to 'kick his heroin addiction' which to me is like buggering off to columbia to kick your coke habit or down the pub to kick your alcohol habit.....it just don't follow. 'He decided to use anothers passport to try and enter the uk' - why would anyone who had nothing to hide try such a thing? I don't think his motivations are as inocent as you seem to think. However, i would not EVER condone torture at any time or being held without trial and he should have been tried or released a long time ago along with many others. The thing i ask is why does he want to come back here? this is not his home nor ever has been.....
