Out to "settle" with infidels one way or another
A UK resident soon to be released from Guantanamo Bay is unlikely to face harassment by British authorities, says the UK reviewer of terror laws.
Lord Carlile said he thought Binyam Mohamed would be "given every opportunity, subject to the law, to integrate himself back" into society.
Mr Mohamed has been detained since 2002 and spent more than four years at the controversial US military base in Cuba.
It is not clear if the Ethiopian-born man will be allowed to stay in the UK.
On Friday, Foreign Secretary David Miliband said agreement had been reached with the US for 30-year-old Mr Mohamed's return "as soon as the practical arrangements can be made".
Liberal Democrat peer Lord Carlile is the independent reviewer of terror laws for the government.
He said: "I would expect a light and gentle touch to be applied to ensure that he [Mr Mohamed] is not harassed in any way by the authorities and is given every opportunity, subject to the law, to integrate himself back into British society."
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I hope very much, and I trust, that he will be given every facility available to be able to return to a normal life as a British resident."
The US had accused Mr Mohamed of involvement in a plot to detonate a "dirty bomb" in America, but all charges against him were dropped last year.
Mr Mohamed claims he was tortured into falsely confessing to terrorism and alleges UK MI5 officers were complicit in his abuse...
Sure he was tortured. Right out of the terrorist training manual. Claim torture, now you are the victim. Of course the muslims are always being persecuted. The UK are going to go out of their way to make this guy feel right at home. They will give him a place to live, money to live on and all the while he will be going to a mosque somewhere planning the next attack in England. Dhimmi's.
