The Magistrate's Blog (2005-2012)

This blog has migrated to www.magistratesblog.blogspot.co.uk This blog is anonymous, and Bystander's views are his and his alone. Where his views differ from the letter of the law, he will enforce the letter of the law because that is what he has sworn to do. If you think that you can identify a particular case from one of the posts you are wrong. Enough facts are changed to preserve the truth of the tale but to disguise its exact source.

Oh My America!


This story from the BBC brings two thoughts to mind:- firstly, that it will take many years to erase the stain of Guantanamo, rendition and torture from America's reputation, and secondly that if there is a difference of opinion between the two judges in the case and the Government, then I am strongly disposed to believe the judges. I have met Lord Justice Thomas, and I have heard him speak on a number of occasions. He has a formidable intellect and cast-iron integrity.
This is the Foreign Secretary's response.
