A British resident held in U.S. custody for seven years has accused U.S. officials of torturing him and beating him dozens of times while he was held at a secret CIA prison and later at Guantanamo. The Ethiopian-born Binyam Mohamed returned to Britain on Monday after becoming the first prisoner to be released from Guantanamo since President Obama took office.

You would happily torture a man that might be innocent? Shame on you.

bush is the biggest terrorists, what would u think if we sent him to gitmo? He is the reason thousands of american soldiers died, thousands of iraqis and afghanis died, and even more detained and taken from their family for simply being muslim because in america islam=terrorism. You all contradict yourselfs and are full of hate, if it takes people dieing and being tortured in order for us to be save then i dont want to be a part of this country.

@PhilK112 Torture is very cruel. The English should take the example of other countries and stop these cruel practices.

@PhilK112 The only Lesbian that would support Islam is a self hating one, you are talking shit my friend, Islam hates women and treats them like garbage.. It would be like if the Holocaust survivors decided to support the Neo Nazis, Or if Gays decided it was in their best interests to send tons of cash to Pat Robertson. If you want to prove your point using liberal stereotypes, at least try to pick one that makes sense.

@PhilK112 Im not the guardian either, I wont defend Islam or any religion because as far as I'm concerned religion is humanity's most dangerous enemy. 

[Groth1175]

@PhilK112 Well I believe in the principle of "Innocent until proven guilty" So yes until these people have a proper trial then i do assume they are innocent.

@MrLolly99 Well said. Applause from me.

And the stinking Labour party wonder why they've gone from certain winners of the 2010 election to despised by their old supporters (like me, for example) and virtually unelectable

[PhilK112]

@nayedhoque Personally, anyone who says "I'll kill all of them if I could" is repugnant.

I'd say the same if a yank said it about muslims (Ive never heard a yank say any such thing though - they say it about the terrorists, perhaps not "all")

I'll be interested in the PC brigade making excuses for your rant, though.

[PhilK112]

@nayedhoque And the fact you're a muslim (going by the name) doesn't influence your view ? And your comment says a lot anbout islamic mentality - "I'll kill all of em if I could"

I dare say the PC mob on here would cheer that, and then say they're not supporting terrorists....

[PhilK112]

@666redler Says a lying terrorist creature. I wouldn't believe this bastard if he said Sunday follows Saturday. The politically correct would believe him if he said his arse was made of gold, and he was really Elvis Presley

Why ? Because a/ They get jobs out of it and b/ They do the OPPOSITE of what the vast majority of Britain want.

[PhilK112]

@mozzaragan New Labour has made itself just about unelectable thanks to their unlimited immigration, allowing terrorist wannabee incompetents like this bastard into the country, then spending vast amounts to help and assist him to suck MORE public money out of the pockets of our people.

The Tories are NOT popular, yet Labour are way behind in the polls

BECAUSE OF THEIR MAKING BRITAIN A FREE HOUSE FOR MUSLIM EXTREMISTS FOR A DOZEN YEARS

[PhilK112]

@3friend Its the heterophobic middle class politically correct using public money, without the publics permission

Its all they know how, the pompous corrupt bastards.
