Four freed
The Gitmo Four have been released without charge. Moazzam Begg and the other detainees can now return to their families three years after being kidnapped and detained without charge and without any evidence of wrongdoing's ever being presented.
Now it is to be hoped that the law will have its day and that these men will be able to sue the United States for many, many thousands of pounds. It will not compensate them for their inhuman treatment, which it is feared will torment them for life, nor for the many days that they missed seeing their children grow.
If for no other reason -- and there are many other reasons -- all people who truly believe in the freedoms that are enshrined in the US constitution and in the common usage in the UK should despise America for what they have done to Moazzam Begg, an innocent man, and the many others who have been denied justice as part of a campaign to create unwarranted fear.
It is our rights they have stolen. We ought not to forget that, whatever our views on Moslems or the rightfulness of the "war on terror".
