Tension between the Britain/ The EU and the US

Wed Feb 04, 2009 11:38 pm by cactus flower

Quote:

British Foreign Secretary David Miliband was tonight urged to intervene after an extraordinary row erupted between the British courts and the US administration over the release of documents relating to allegations of torture.

Two senior judges said the US government had threatened to review its intelligence-sharing relationship with the UK if the material was placed in the public domain. The documents contain details of the treatment by the US of Ethiopian Binyam Mohamed, a f...

Tue Dec 09, 2008 10:53 pm by cactus flower

The weakest points of Europe are acting as valves = Iceland, Ireland and now Greece. Three days after a 15 year old boy was shot dead by police, petrol bombings, riots and mass demonstrations are continuing, with a General Strike tomorrow and the Government in danger of failing.
