The One Case of Torture Obama Doesn’t Want You to Learn About

Binyam Mohamed was arrested on suspicion of being affiliated with Al Qaeda. However, the evidence against Binyam was so weak that Obama ordered him released from Guantanamo and sent to England.

As the military lawyer assigned to defend him told CNN:


The attorney also wrote in an opinion piece for the Guardian:



What does Binyam’s case have to do with torture?

His military lawyer also told CNN:


(And see this.)

Okay, that’s horrible. But at least Obama has treated him fairly, right?

Well, it is true that Obama had Binyam released. However, Obama is going to extraordinary lengths to try to cover up the extent of Binyma’s torture.

For example, Obama’s Pentagon has filed a criminal complaint against one of Binyam’s lawyers basically because he asked Obama to release details of Binyam’s torture.

The Obama administration also made a dramatic threat against the British government. Specifically, Obama told England that if British courts released any documents about Binyam’s torture, the U.S. would stop sharing vital intelligence with England, even if such intelligence would prevent a terrorist attack against England.
