British Guantanamo four 'need treatment'
The lawyer for two of the four Britons freed from US custody in Guantanamo Bay has said they are victims of torture needing treatment and rehabilitation.

Moazzam Begg, Martin Mubanga, Feroz Abbasi and Richard Belmar were held for three years, accused of al-Qaeda links.

Clive Stafford Smith, who represents Mr Begg and Mr Belmar, said they had been interrogated by MI5 in Cuba and should now be allowed to go free in Britain.

"I can guarantee you we will sue the American government," he added.

2. Will the US declare war against the UK
if some of the four will piss at the US embassay in London because

"... UK government promised they would not be a threat to the national security of the US or any of its allies"?

5. If the British know what's good for them...
they will make sure these men get the treatment and compensation they deserve, even if it means holding their noses whilst they do it.

If not, you can be assured that some of the more radical elements of the British muslims will get their pint of blood in return.
