Here they come...

The Guantamo Four are arriving in Britain today despite the fact that none of them are British.

The BBC runs profiles of the foursome but fails to explain how they came to be arrested in the first place.

Brief extracts and a question or two:

Jamil el-Banna, a mechanic, is a Jordanian. He has been detained in Cuba since early 2003 following capture in Gambia in November 2002. The father-of-five has never seen his youngest daughter who was born in April 2003.
Why did he leave his pregnant wife to go to the Gambia?

Libyan-born Omar Deghayes grew up in Brighton, was privately educated and studied law at British universities. Amnesty International said he wanted to be a human rights lawyer. (Of course he did.) But he dropped out of university and travelled to Afghanistan, where he married and fathered a son. Mr Deghayes was arrested in Pakistan shortly after the fall of the Taleban and was transferred to Cuba.
Why did a private schoolboy travel to Afghanistan? I doubt it is the destination of choice for most students on gap years or even drop outs. If he was after some artificial enlightenment (which as a good Muslim he would not be allowed) there are enough drugs available in this country without resorting to travelling to a backward society thousands of miles from "home".

Abdulnour Sameur is an Algerian army deserter who came to Britain in 1999. He was granted refugee status in 2000. He lived in south Harrow, London. He was given leave to remain in the UK but travelled to Afghanistan because he found it hard to live as a good Muslim in Britain.
Why? Thousands of others seem to manage combining Islam with living in this country.

Shaker Abdur-Raheem Aamer, originally from Saudi Arabia, had been living in the UK since 1996. He is reported to have travelled to Afghanistan in August 2001 to carry out voluntary charity work.
As you do, because there are no charities in this country. Although, he was a bit unlucky going there just a month before the Twin Tower terror attacks.
He lived in London with his wife and three children, all British citizens, and worked as an interpreter for a firm of solicitors. A fourth child has been born since his capture. He has never seen her.
He must be wondering who the father is...
At least he is on his way back to Saudi Arabia. How long before he is back in the UK?
