Tory hypocrisy (next: al fresco ursine defecation)

Takes a lot to stagger me, but the story in today's press, relating that the Tories are asking that we be told whether the four former British residents about to be released from Guantanamo are "dangerous" or not before we accept them, makes a pretty good attempt. The very same Tories are protesting that keeping Islamic terrorist suspects - always people with a good deal of form and who have been followed for some time - in custody for more than 28 days, while the filth try to work out what they were intending to blow up, is a scandalous invasion of our (our???) civil liberties. And yet people who've been in an American military slammer without charge, for five years and more, had better convince us that they're safe before we dare let them out. Where's the logic? Well, we don't give a toss about security or terrorism, we're just looking for a stick to beat the Government with! No, Brown is not great (as Christopher Hitchens might have said) but who the hell would let the other lot run a bleeding whelk stall?
