UK alarm over Guantanamo trials:

"The planned military tribunals for terror suspects held at Guantanamo Bay are unacceptable, says the British attorney general. Four British men are still being held at the Cuban camp.

In a speech on Friday, Lord Goldsmith is to say there can be 'no compromise' on certain principles and the US tribunals would not offer a fair trial. "

No comment as yet from John Howard's sycophantic Australian government, who have so far happily accepted Donald Rumsfeld's verdict that two Australian detainees are "bad guys."
