POPSGuantánamo Bay writs against MI5
Prisoner interrogations at Guantánamo Bay, the controversial US military detention centre where guards have been accused of brutality and torture, have not prevented a single terrorist attack, according to a senior Pentagon intelligence officer who worked at the heart of the US war on terror. Britain and the US are betraying the cause of human rights in pursuit of their "war on terror", Amnesty International says The British government was seeking diplomatic assurances from countries, including Algeria, to which it wanted to deport people.

Now we are to believe that MI6 is working for the Master Party? They are all working for themselves and thanks to the Academic Idiot Osbourne, we can all see it for ourself.

Suskind writes that the head of MI6, Richard Dearlove, flew to Washington to present details of the Habbush report to Tenet, who then briefed National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.

POPSUK Security Breach: New Batch Of Terror Files Left On Train It wants Iran to criminalise the financing of terrorism and stop illicit money being diverted to its nuclear programme. The watchdog says this is a significant vulnerability within the international financial system. It is negotiating with countries such as China, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Burma and the Comoros on their anti-terrorism policies. In 2000, an MI6 officer left a laptop in a taxi after a night drinking in a bar. Another was snatched when an MI5 officer put it down while buying a ticket at a Tube station. A Royal Navy laptop was stolen in Manchester in 2006, and an Army laptop containing data on 500 people was stolen from a recruiting office in Edinburgh in 2005.
