I read in the papers today, that its suspected that the reason why they released him was because britain wanted secure oil and gas contracts..and talks had been as far back as when tony blair was in power, which is one of the reasons why the british goverment remained so silent on the subject. thats accordig to the news paper, so we dont know how true it is.

All governments are at it, even US.
Some of the biggest untapped oil reserves are near the Afgan Borders, that's strange is it not?
In regards to releasing terrorists we have realeased Irish terrorists we never heard any complaints then did we!
They blew my windows out in the 90's and killed two children outside mcdonalds with a bomb on mothers day!

Any terrorists who are caught should  go missing in transit.

As a Englishman I apologise for the Scottish parliament and Our Scottish Prime Minister.
My thoughts are with those who have suffered at the hands of terrorists

I suspect Tony B. struck a deal with George B, that the US must drop any objections against lifting sanctions against Lybia if the UK were to commit any Military assets to Iraq and Afghanistan.

I suspect the IRA struck a deal with George Bush if US would invest X amount in Ireland

I HATE all liberals they make me puke!

[RTHolmes]

I dont see how liberalism is relevant here, imo the reason for progressively shorter sentences is simply a lack of funding for the prison service and a reluctance to admit that law and order is in decline.

No compasion for killers.
