   No Matt I'm not a supporter of any particular American politician. As there   
   were 9 British citizens detained by the US and incarcerated in Guantanamo   
   Bay I am interested in their rights.   
      
   I also am interested in why the USA thinks it has the right to detain people   
   without charge for years and still professes to champion freedom.
