this is a convinent excuse not to have the facts of torture released and the USA threat to not share intelligence is invalid on two counts

1: the USA has no intelligence

2: our people work so closley with the USA people that we couldnt help but get to know about things and also the USA depends greatly on us just as much as we depend on them when gathering information around the world and also the australian people work very closely with us and teh USA as well so basicly our countries are so entwined in each others buisness helping each other the UK could not be kept out of the loop

the govenment is quite happy to bow down to this demand and say they cant release information basicly because it saves embarrassment that we are part or involved in the torture of people when in reality we could easily ignore the USA and call tehir bluff because they have made a threat that even they know they are incapable of carrying out


dont get me wrong im all for torturing the hell out of people associated with terrorism in any way but to see our courts made a mockery of just to hide a dirty secret which isnt that well kept anyway is a joke

i dont knwo what is worse , european courts over ruling our courts or our polotitions gaging our justice system to hide their dirty linen
