So. . .

UK judges have ruled that the UK has no grounds to withhold US evidence that a British resident held in Gitmo was subject to "inhumane treatment" by CIA with MI5's tacit approval.

Uncle Sam and Her Majesty's finest had argued that this would compromise the principles of intelligence sharing.

Now as it happens, the evidence in question had already been released by a US court, and it's on that basis that the judges ruled in favoUr of publication.

I have to say that even as a pinko liberal ******, I accept that we need to share intelligence with our allies, and aren't going to do that if we think it'll end up in the newspapers, so it should legtimately remain sooper sekrit.

I don't endorse some of the methods of our security services, but if liberal diCk-wads start trying to apply Freedom of Information to counter-terrorist information we may as well just issue Semtex Underpants at all flights from the Middle East into Europe & USA.

Please tell your UK airport security to be less easily bribe-able.

It's a step up from a sternly written letter.

Isn't that considered a form of torture over there?
