The Guantanamo farce continues


The Guantanamo farce continues

The US government has been accused of "farce" by the lawyer of the last UK resident held at Guantanamo Bay.

Clive Stafford Smith says all charges have been dropped against Binyam Mohamed, who was accused of terrorism.

However, he says Mr Mohamed, 30, who lived in west London, is set to be charged again within the next month, with new military prosecutors involved.

Mr Mohamed has said he admitted to planning a terror attack only after being tortured, which the US denies
.

"Mr Mohamed has been involved in a legal battle to try to get the British government to release documents which he believes will show he was tortured prior to being held at the US military base in Cuba".

David Miliband and Jack Straw are you trying to cover up your own involvement?

So what was he doing overseas? Buying up Mohammed teddy bears?

Or perhaps seeking a new supplier for kebab meat for his uncle's kebab shop?

I agree, anyone who travels overseas is a dodgy character who should be locked up and tortured for years at a time.

We don't need evidence, the BNP and UKIP are to be trusted at all times (Gang of benders that they always were)

Thanks, John for this post.

It's a pity that a serious post gets such frivolous comments.

Calum: What annoys me is that this kind of conduct plays into the hands of genuine terrorists.
