Author and journalist Andy Worthington is a frequent writer in criticising every issue around freeing Guantanamo detainees as well as closing it completely. His critique of current affairs, media and the judicial system concerning those detained is nothing short of brilliance. His book The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America’s Illegal Prison including reviews by Guantanamo prisoner Moazzam Begg, tells the story of every trapped man in Guantanamo. You MUST buy it (US & UK).
In a recent article "What The British Government Knew About The Torture Of Binyam Mohamed" Worthington concisely presents a timeline of events including unknown little gems of the British Government...
"...The government has been so desperate not to reveal any actual details about what it knew and what it did that the foreign secretary, David Miliband, has spent the last eleven months fighting to persuade the judges in Mohamed’s case not to publicly reveal even a 25-line summary of the intelligence reports received from the Americans, despite the fact that numerous parties have cast doubts on Miliband’s supposed reason for doing so — because it would apparently cause an unhealable rift between the US and UK intelligence services — and even though the judges have poured scorn on this idea, suggesting instead that the government is invoking national security issues to protect itself from political embarrassment..."
