On the other hand, they really irked the Americans. If he was not released people would have said Brown and the 'Dark Lord' intervened to please the Americans and how we are America's lapdogs and so on.
I suspect Brown and Labour were very pleased not to have to deal with this issue at all and stayed as far out of it as possible. It's a lose-lose situation. They would be nuts to have to get involved. It appers McAskill was in an unfortunate situation and everyone else stayed way clear of it.
