This is a test case, because if these British subjects can be detained, held incommunicado, tortured, tried in secret and executed by the USA.... SO CAN YOU!

Mr Bush had already ordered the military to prepare for trials of suspects who are not United States citizens - and made it clear the death penalty could be applied.

The tribunals have come under heavy criticism from human rights organisations.

"We urge the UK Government to strenuously object to any British national, or indeed any national, facing execution following the proceedings at Guantanamo Bay."
