Granted, it's still speculation as to what the motives are. Is the Obama administration and the British government simply agreeing on rationale to bury a torture trial, or is Obama actually strong-arming Britain from pursuing the matter?

"this isn't really a case of the U.S. Government genuinely threatening Britain as much as it is the two governments collaborating to provide the British government with an excuse to justify concealment, on national security grounds, of the facts of Mohamed's torture." I think that says it all :-\ Side: WTF?
