An amazing story and both sides deserve credit for being able to reunite and reconcile. The article is a bit abrupt in describing how this all got on the BBC, though. I'd be interested to know how it went from Facebook messages to televised reunion.

"Their story will be featured on BBC Two's Newsnight on Tuesday 12 January at 2230 GMT and in the documentary Guantanamo Reunited on BBC Radio 5 live on Thursday 14 January at 2200 BST."

Hopefully this article is just some sort of trailer. Seems there is more to come.
