ONE by one, bad decisions made by Tony Blair and his close ministers in the final years of his premiership are being changed or amended by the Brown administration. The latest concerns the readiness of Britain to take in five British residents who have been imprisoned by the United States in Guantanamo Bay without charge for up to five years. Although they had lived legally in Britain with homes and family before being arrested by the Americans in the aftermath of 9-11, they had not yet become British citizens and Tony Blair used this as legal grounds to refuse to intercede on their behalf with the Americans for their release.
