On the homepage, Thomas Joscelyn tells the story of Gitmo detainee Binyam Mohamed. Mohamed was reportedly tortured, and there have been a number of calls for his release. But as Joscelyn points out this doesn't make Mohamed an innocent. The Times of London now confirms that next week Mohamed will become the first Guantanamo detainee released or transferred by the Obama administration.
The Guantanamo Bay detainee Binyam Mohamed is to be flown back to the UK "as soon as the practical arrangements can be made", the Foreign Secretary said today. David Miliband said in a statement that the British and US governments had reached agreement on Mr Mohamed's transfer, which will be the first such transfer by the Obama Administration.
It's quite troubling that there is discussion of a possible investigation of the intelligence officials involved in his interrogations and not Mohamed's own al Qaeda ties.
