Thread Name: BS: Binyam Mohammed - the VILE Daily Express
Subject: RE: BS: Binyam Mohammed - the VILE Daily Express
If Binyam Mohammed has been tortured then I have sympathy with him, whether he is a terrorist or not; no living creature should be tortured.

He is called a British resident, but he is not. He was refused asylum in 1994, and given exceptional leave to stay in the UK until 2004; before which time he had already illegally sublet his flat and disappeared off to Afghanistan to "experience" the Taleban. Would he still want to go back there since the agreement to stop fighting and impose Sharia law?

He is an Ethiopian, the US imprisoned him in Guantanamo so why should he be flown to the UK on a private jet at a cost of £250,000 to the British taxpayers? We were led to believe that he was skin and bone and close to death's door, which may have justified special and expensive transportation costs, but he walked unaided from the jet. I'm pleased about that, I don't wish him ill.

He has accused the British secret service of being part of harsh treatment, he says that he received, based on some of the questions that were asked him. None of us have any evidence that the British secret service was involved and anyway that wouldn't qualify him for British benefits.

Why has he not gone to Ethiopia, America, or Pakistan where he was arrested?

What has he got to do with Britain? As well as funding bankers' pensions and goodness knows what else the British taxpayer is now having to pay towards his legal costs and his living costs and the cost of getting him to the UK. It is not surprising that The Daily Express wrote that report.
