Hydra, thats not where I first heard of torture.
I first heard it on CSPAN here in America.

Gareth Peirce, who represents Begg, told the UK's Press Association after meeting the men Tuesday: "They are very marked by three years of ill treatment and torture."
Relatives of the men say the men have suffered torture during their detention without trial for almost three years.

Actually I don't think the article demonizes the US for this, but Tony Blair has been criticized about not working more to bring the men back, and the general public feeling is that they have not done something wrong.
Cow, they probably were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Going to Afghanistan at the time they chose to is pretty dumb. But was it neccessary to keep them in Cuba for so long? The UK gov't didn't do as much as they could have to bring them home - and I'm not entirely happy at that. How long does it take to verify wether those people were a threat or not? And if they DID do something wrong, what is it? I understand if miranda rights do not come into play here, but not telling anyone in that world what they did wrong, if they did anything at all?
