Guantanamo men expected to return home
LONDON (Reuters) - Campaigners for the final four British detainees at Guantanamo Bay are pressing for the men to be released immediately when they return home from three years in U.S. custody at the prison camp in Cuba.

The return of the four Muslim men -- expected today -- will close a chapter that had divided Washington from its closest ally and cost Prime Minister Tony Blair support from Muslims and human rights activists at home.

Their lawyers, Louise Christian and Gareth Peirce, both told Reuters they had been informed by the authorities all four detainees would be home on Tuesday.

The Foreign Office said it expected their return "shortly".

The rest of the story.

1. Still thousands more languish there, without charge, without lawyers,
without recourse. Makes me freaking SICK to think this is happening at the behest of MY government. WE are paying for the illegal incarceration of thousands of innocent people.

2. Translation
After many months of torture and "aggressive questioning," we have discovered that these men are either innocent or of little use to us.
