CNS News<\/a> is reporting today that the British government has agreed to pay millions of pounds (dollars) in settlements to a group of former Guantanamo Bay detainees who were suing the government for alleged complicity in their torture overseas.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

“Britain’s ITV News reported that at least 7 ex-detainees would receive payments, and claimed one man would be paid more than one million pounds (US$1.6 million). It did not cite its sources.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There is so much wrong with this I don’t know where to start.  First of all, the British are putting $1.6 million in the hands of terrorists.  I questions the wisdom of that.  Second of all, it is common knowledge that terrorists who have been captured are taught to claim mistreatment.  Possibly they were mistreated, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are terrorists.  Is it wise to give terrorists $1.6 million in order to avoid some potentially nasty publicity?  What impact does this have on the future safety of the British?  Of the world?  <\/p>\n

It is sad to see the courts uphold the rights of the people who want to destroy them.  It makes no sense.  It is another example of how those involved in terrorism with the goal of forming a worldwide caliphate are using our governments against us to further their goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
