Binyam Mohamed - what is the truth?

Well, you won't find it in Guardian report.

See here for the truth.

Funny how the Guardian left all that out. What's also interesting, is how the Guardian reports but never questions this part:

"The 30-year-old Ethiopian described how he was first seized at Karachi airport, in Pakistan, in April 2002, while travelling with a false passport. He was hung for a week by a leather strap around his wrists. He could only just stand, he said.

The torture stopped when British interrogators came, he said. He said a person called John told him: "I'll see what we can do with the Americans."


So the Pakistanis were "torturing" him to find out why he was traveling on a false passport and this stop when the British arrived.

Why was he traveling on a false passport? What about him prompted the Pakistanis to call in the British? Why is the Guardian so willing to believe him?

The Guardian report this:

"From Morocco he was taken to Kabul's notorious CIA prison, where, he says, he was held in darkness for weeks on end. He says that was the worst time in his seven years in US captivity. "There were loudspeakers in the cell, pumping out what felt like about 160 watts, a deafening volume, non-stop, 24 hours a day," he said this month."


But what's the Guardian's headline? "Binyam Mohamed's harrowing journey..."
