Corrupt government to hold trials in secret against centuries old tradition of holding trials in the open.

Mr Clarke is seeking to protect the Government from a repeat of a fiasco which has cost tens of millions of pounds and led to a breakdown in co-operation between British intelligence and an enraged CIA.
The best-known case involved Binyam Mohamed, a British resident who was held in Guantanamo Bay for five years, and started a claim for damages from the UK Government, which he accused of complicity in torture.
The Court of Appeal released a summary of CIA intelligence which supported Mr Mohamed's claim that British intelligence officers knew about the torture of suspected terrorists.

So, Government gets caught in torture disgrace. Is now trying to pass law which will mean that it won't lose face when evidence is presented that paints it in a bad light (like more torturing, maybe a few illegal assassinations, extroardinary rendition cases etc. etc.).

I, personally, feel anyone who wants to lob a bomb at any political target in the UK is fully justified as they will be living up to the same standards that the UK government sets. And that's how terrorists freedom fighters will feel too..

Well you have just slagged them off AND said you support Terrorist Activities so if you are right we can expect to see you bumped off or on a plane to Cuba before the day is out?
