The original court ruling was correct, these guys should never have been sent back to Afghanistan...but they should go back now.

The best bit was Tony Blair commenting that the decision "goes against common sense" whilst at the same time his wide mouth frog of a wife reaps millions arguing the opposite.

Hooray! John Reid, errr... has lost the appeal

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5244936.stm

Home Secretary John Reid has vowed to push for law changes over the right to remain in the UK after losing a Court of Appeal battle over nine Afghans.
Mr Reid appealed against a High Court ruling giving the men, who hijacked an airliner and flew it to the UK in 2000, discretionary leave to stay in the UK.

He said legislation would "deny people in this position leave to remain".

The phrase "you reap what you sow" springs to mind.
