>>The United States is to put the remaining four Britons held in Guantánamo Bay as suspected terrorists through "backdoor trials" within a month, according to US military papers seen by the Guardian


>> The decision comes despite the US agreeing last year with the attorney general Lord Goldsmith that the Britons would not face military commissions. The detainees' lawyers said some of the tribunal's features were even worse than the military commissions, which human rights groups condemned.

>>In June the Guardian revealed the prime minister had directly asked Mr Bush to return the four Britons, a request that was rejected.<<
