Why'd the Brits let them go?
Holding people with no access to the Red Cross, no access to lawyers, and no terms of release is inhumane, un-Constitutional, and against the Geneva Convention. It's also un-American.
According to the U.S. Supreme Court, even people designated as "unlawful enemy combatants" have rights and must be so designated by a military tribunal functioning under rules similar to a courts-martial. By going against that ruling, the President is breaking our law and making us look bad internationally.
And then there's the issue of whether these people really did anything wrong.
