There is something disturbing about this report. Quite apart from all the references to the so-called Al-Qaeda leader only being thought to have committed terrorist attacks. There are references to his being in custody in a "ghost prison" since last year, and the information has only just become available. Why he has been arrested by the CIA, a so-called intelligence gathering agency, is a mystery. Why his arrest was kept secret for so long is a mystery. Has the suspect been the subject of torture? Was he allowed his phone call to his lawyer? If he is being accused of offences committed in the UK, why is he now being held in custody in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba? Should he not have come under the jurisdiction of UK laws?
When the so-called law-abiding behave worse than criminals there is no justification.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
