Hypocrisy in the UK

I’ve found the moves to have British detainees at Guantanamo extradited to the UK somewhat distasteful, and this piece from the Guardian’s Wrap explains perfectly why that might be:

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown uses her Independent column to ask the government to do more still: she points out that Moazzam Begg and Feroz Abbassi, the two Britons facing a tribunal, are not the only prisoners in the 670-strong camp. There is something repellent about campaigning for Britons while ignoring the plight of those who had the “rotten luck” to be born in other nations, she says.
