New evidence in the Binyamin Mohammed case

So now it appears, according to the Guardian, that MI-5 knew that the man later-deemed-innocent-and-released was in Morocco being tortured at the request of the Americans, contrary to what they've been telling the British High Court all this time. And in light of that, the threats that US officials have been making to the British government, to withhold future intelligence in the event evidence of Mohammed's torture is released, now look a bit like collusion between the two governments aimed at bullying the High Court into . So perhaps we're not actually playing games with innocent lives here, we're only bluffing in a hamfisted attempt to manipulate our respective independent judiciaries.

Blech. At least if this turns out to be correct, there's really no reason not to release the evidence. Time will tell.
