Huge scandal breaks out on Guantanamo torture. Top story in most UK papers
Crossposted in Democratic Underground.
Two High Court judges in the UK are stating that evidence exists that the CIA not only tortured Binyam Mohamed (accused of planning to plant a dirty bomb with Jose Padilla), but that the White House threatened UK's government, by warning it not to disclose what had happened to Mohamed, or else...the UK would be "at risk" of an attack, meaning the US would withdraw their intelligence assistance against terror.
Top story now in The Guardian, Telegraph and BBC. Well now it dropped from BBC but it was the topmost stories just a few minutes ago.
