Binyam Mohamed: MI 5 condemned by judge

One of the UK's top judges has made stinging criticism of the activities of MI5 over the torture of former Guantanamo Bay detainee Binyam Mohamed.
Lord Neuberger said some officers had been less than frank about what they knew about Mr Mohamed's ill-treatment. They misled the courts and, perhaps, even more worrying Parliament.
His criticism was made public after an exceptionally unusual court decision to publish his draft legal opinion on MI5's respect for human rights.
Foreign Secretary David Miliband was still insisting that rejected the suggestion MI5 had lied. But it looks clear that the Government was involved in a cover up aimed at suppressing the truth.
There is a clear case now but an inquiry into the UK's involvement in human rsights abuses but we may need to wait for a change of Government before the Truth comes out.
