Guantanamo suspects can use US courts


To me the issue has always been a 'do as you would be done by' matter of simple justice. If I were wrongly detained as a suspect I would like to be able to be alble to challenge it. I were correctly detained, I would like to be able to at least be tried fairly like any other criminal... and until tried, of course, I should be presumed innocent ... you can't operate a legal system on any other basis and still safeguyard the rights of suspects, indeed of ordinary citizens. Glad to see some sanity prevailing.

"Spend and tax" not "tax and spend"

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
