    Photos of Guantanamo Bay victim's torture

    Independent Report

    Lawyers for a British resident who the US government refuses to release from Guantanamo Bay have identified the existence of photographs taken by CIA agents that they say show their client suffered horrific injuries under torture.

    In a letter sent to the Foreign Secretary David Miliband, Britain is urged to ask the US to stop the CIA destroying the pictures.

    Should people who are pulled off the street and labeled a 'terrorist' by the infallible US regime not have legal representation?

    i doubt that, only that a lawyer for an accused will use all sorts of tricks to cast doubt on the defendants guilt. its playing to public, as WH correctly states.
