Ministers 'misled' judges over torture evidence

"Evidence that a British resident was tortured before being flown to Guantanamo Bay may yet see the light of day after senior judges hearing the case were told yesterday they had been misled by the Government".

I am not suggesting for one moment that the Tories would be any better. Transparency in a democracy is essential. This cloudy approach over torture does not serve the public interest. If anything, rather than reduce the risk to the public I believe it increases the risk.
