Typical of New Labour. Don't we have enough people in this country who want to harm us? Milliband and Brown now want to add to that psychotic group. Please leave them in Guantanamo, or at least return them to their countries or origin. Labour have already imperilled the lives of millions of Britons with their stupid "let everyone in" immigration policy. They never once considered that immigrants might want to kill Britons (we now know that some of them do) and yet Labour allow millions to pour into the UK every year. People are likely to die as a result of this Labour government's immigration and foreign policies. If they do, Labour will pay a heavy price at the ballot box, but that will be no consolation to those Britons who are murdered and their grieving families. Then watch the crocodile tears of the Cabinet.

It seems to me that these people have a very limited claim to being citizens of Britain and probably very qualified loyalty to it. If released, they would no doubt have to be supervised, once again at our expense like others that we seem unable to deal with competently. I feel many Britons arer now heartily sick of islamic activists that our governmental system seems incapable of summoning the will or means to deal with as enemies of the state.

"Profile: five British residents (sic) at Guantanamo"
RESIDENTS?
Is this description some sort of sick joke? Has the Times abandoned itself totally to the Islamo-terrorist apologists. How about a bit more truth.
"Five suspected British terrorists captured trying to murder troops are held at Guantanamo."
Dave Smith, London, England
there is nothing in your report that suggests why these people were held in the first place? Being in Pakistan at the wrong time?
Are you not telling us? Or was there never a reason to hold them?
Jim, Nizwa, Oman,
It's just amazing how so many of these peace loving charity workers ended up in Afghanistan and became wrongly imprisoned. Indeed it seems like everyone who went there, went there for reasons other than terrorism, violent jihad and to kill our very own soldiers. I'm just glad that the Times has given us these little profiles that show us what lovely people they really are so everyone can know that all of these people are innocent. The sooner we get them back to Britain and on our streets the better. I mean what is Britain coming to?
J W Randall, Edinburgh,
More stupidity by the Labour government, the sooner this lot is voted out the better. We need to take the UK back from the hands of those who will sell us out for political correctness and blind ignorance of what is happening to this once great and beautiful country.
