They were arrested upon arrival in Britain as procedure, but no charges are expected.
Imagine, 2+ years of captivity for no reason. 2 years of your life gone, plus alleged torture and beating....

Depends whether they really did attend a terrorist training camp as alleged, or funnel money to known terrorist fronts, I don't have a lot of sympathy. Lack of charges doesn't mean they are innocent.
That said, I don't doubt that the US has snagged some totally innocent people and that really is a shame. But it's not like they took every arab they could find - there was reason for being detained, even if it was only circumstantial. And when those innocent people are released, I hope they get paid very well.
You buy 50 tons of fertalizer and several sticks of TNT you'd better expect to be detained, even if you haven't technically broken any laws.
If it was most other countries, they'd have been tossed in a gulag to rot or simply executed as enemies of the state.
