The Washington Times<\/a> has a story this morning about a letter from the U.S. government to Great Britain stating:<\/p>\n

\n

“If it is determined that [her majesty’s government] is unable to protect information we provide to it, even if that inability is caused by your judicial system, we will necessarily have to review with the greatest care the sensitivity of information we can provide in the future.” <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The U. S. government is upset with the British because they are preparing to release a summary of the treatment of Binyam Mohamed at Guantanamo (a prisoner who was released in February).  Some things we need to remember–part of terrorist training is to say that you have been (or are being) abused as soon as you can get to the press, the Red Cross and the Department of Defense both determined that prisoners at Guantanamo were treated fairly.  Mr. Mohamed says he was tortured while in U.S., Pakistani and Moroccan custody. <\/p>\n

This is the can of worms President Obama opened when he released the ‘torture memos’.  He has still refused to release the memos that show the plots that were prevented because of ‘enhanced interrogation’.  Mr. Mohamed and others have filed a civil lawsuit against Jeppesen Dataplan, which is accused of supplying the equipment and personnel used to transport prisoners among nations.  It should come as no surprise to anyone that the ACLU is representing Mr. Mohamed in this case.<\/p>\n

I would also like to point out that with the Obama Administration in place, our enemies are being treated better than our friends.  Israel is being thrown under the bus in favor of Iran, and Britain has not been treated well from the beginning.  Promises made to allies to help with missle defense are being broken.  Right now it does not pay to be a friend of America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
