* U.S. accused of 'riding roughshod' over UK as Guantanamo detainees are sent to Bermuda in secret deal
* But Washington insists deal was kept from London in an effort to protect UK's relationship with China
* Bermudian opposition tables no confidence motion in Prime Minister as deal ignites political firestorm on the island
* PM admits he may not have agreed to take detainees in had he known the controversy it would cause
* EU agrees to take in detainees

They look like ordinary tourists as they stroll along the seafront on the British territory of Bermuda, but these four men are far from regular sunseekers for they have spent the last seven years locked up in Guantanamo Bay.

The former terror suspects are Uighurs - members of China's Muslim Turkic-speaking minority - and hail from a rugged province in the far west of the country.

BUT they are still withholding marmalade--it's just jelly for these terrorists.

Senior aides to President Barack Obama accompanied four Uighur prisoners as they were flown from Guantanamo Bay to the British colony of Bermuda, without the UK being informed, it was revealed yesterday.

In an escalating diplomatic row over the transfer of the former terrorist suspects, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed the transfer with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband in what was said to be an uneasy conversation. Privately Whitehall officials accused America of treating Britain, with whom it is supposed to have a "special relationship", with barely disguised contempt.

One senior official said: "The Americans were fully aware of the foreign-policy understanding we have with Bermuda and they deliberately chose to ignore it. This is not the kind of behaviour one expects from an ally."
