A British citizen was apparently captured by American forces in Pakistan trying to get out with a false passport. He was taken to Morocco where he was tortured with the help of MI5. He was then brought to Afghanistan and thence was taken to Guantanamo. Two judges have now said that the details of his torture cannot be released because of US blackmail. The Americans have threatened to withold future intelligence sharing if this information is made public. Some years back the highest court in the land, the Law Lords, ruled 3-2 that the Chagos Islands would not be returned to the islanders because the US needed its base in Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean to continue its fight against terror. This is clear evidence of how the Americans give orders to the British government which then obeys without question. It is not surprising that the first foreign trip of the new US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, is to Britain. David Milliband, the Foreign Secretary was all smiles at this renewal of the Special Relationship. So he should be. As a representative of the slave country he must be delighted to be given a list of orders that he and his country must obey. As the Queen is the head of a governement of slaves does that make her a maid servant of Foggy Bottom?
