I wonder who will be picking up the bill when this Saudi Arabian, sues for compensation?

[askyourgran]

I suppose his wife and children have been claiming benefits .

[-SharonA-]

Well he will want revenge for all those years, I know I would.

[Peter Pedant]

disgraceful that anyone can be held without trial for fourteen years

this is 2015 and not pre-revolutionary France with its lettres de cachet

and if he is guilty then where is the evidence
[ o it is so secret it cant be pleaded - oh pleeeez ! )

[retrocop]

Yes . His wife is British. I note we have half a Bedouin tribe acting as spokespersons on the news today. Father in Law and Uncle Tom Cobbly and all. Why is the all that lot living here on the strength of his British wife?

That makes both you and the Daily Mail incorrect.

He may at the moment be a British 'RESIDENT' but that doesn't make him British.

/// Of course the world is different. The War on Terror has helped make it a vastly different place from what it was before....and that has had an unavoidable impact on the UK, too. ///

Granted but not alone, there are some other factors that has made the World (interesting you chose not include more closer to home, the UK) a vastly different place from what it was before.

The U.K. Is in the world AOG, so has been included by JTH who was making the valid point that it doesn't just affect us, as some would seem to think.

I heard the sum of £1 millon, plus the cost of the private jet to fly him back to his adopted home.

You couldn't make it up.

/// The place was Taleban controlled at the time, and they kind of frown on any education for females, so it could be expected they would denounce him to the Americans and get a lottery size windfall for their village. It coyld be You! ///

I didn't realise that the Taliban Traded with the Americans, surely they would have just executed him?

[PankySmooch]

Just heard he's already started legal proceedings against he UK government.

That's gratitude for you, they should fly him back out there the cheeky git

[anotheoldgit]

ummmm

/// His wife and children are British. ///

A marriage of convenience perhaps?

[ummmm]

A marriage of convenience doesn't usually produce 4 kids.

[anotheoldgit]

-SharonA-

/// Well he will want revenge for all those years, I know I would. ///

And it will be quite in ordeer for him to do so then?

Yet one more very understanding person.

So pleased then to see that both yourself and JTH, then agree the UK has change to how it once was.

[Zacs-Master]

Bizarre cartoon on the Guardian website put together from 5 detainees' testimonies. Not sure if link will work:

/// A marriage of convenience doesn't usually produce 4 kids. ///

Doesn't take any special skills for Muslims to produce kids, just ask Rochdale's Mohammed Salim, father to 11.

[Zacs-Master]

I'd be stupid not to. It's the degree which you and I probably disagree on.

[Zacs-Master]

Try link again.
