Quote:Court lifts ban on Binyam wording

The Court of Appeal has decided to publish a paragraph criticising MI5 in a judgement involving former Guantanamo Bay detainee Binyam Mohamed.

A senior judge had altered the text following protests from government lawyers who saw the draft version.

The appeal judges said the robust criticism contained in the original wording should be published "in the interests of open justice".

The foreign secretary has previously denied officials had acted unfairly.

According to an interview on BBC News a short while ago, this signals that the Court will not be bowed by immense pressure from the government, notably that bloody awful Bliar clone, David Milliband, and the spooks, who have, it seems, activated a media campaign over the last weeks and months to ensure a judgement in their favour.

MI5 (and MI6) were complicit in torture.

We now await formal publication of the critical paragraph.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
