Torture: What torture?
If I was being generous this case may be an argument to support Jacqui Smith's call for the detention limit to be extended to 42 days. And even that might not be long enough. Al-Qahtani was interrogated in Guantanamo Bay for 48 days. It is arguable that it is cruel and unusual punishment in itself. Rather conveniently, any evidence that he may have been tortured has been erased when the US Military wiped the video tapes of the interrogation.
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.
