Another U.S. official, however, acknowledges there was disagreement over timing. Analysts say that in recent years, American security officials have become edgier than the British in such cases because of missed opportunities leading up to 9/11.
Aside from the timing issue, there was excellent cooperation between the British and the Americans, officials told NBC News.
Monitoring of Rauf, in particular, apparently played a critical role, revealing that the plotters had tested the explosive liquid mixture they planned to use at a location outside Britain. NBC News has previously reported that the explosive mixture was tested in Pakistan. The source said the suspects in Britain had obtained at least some of the materials for the explosive but had not yet actually prepared or mixed it.

There's a difference between individuals planning a terrorist attack and individuals who are activly invloved in shooting at our troops in a war zone. If these individuals were in uniform and belonged to an actual state they wouldn't be held in Gitmo for 3 years getting better treatment than theymost likely received in the own country.
You honestly don't believe that any of the individuals in Gitmo are a threat?
