A lawyer for an Ethiopian captive at Guantánamo, who claims he was tortured when his interrogation was outsourced to Morocco, is asking the British government to intervene and help preserve alleged CIA photos that illustrate his treatment.

Binyam Mohamed, 27, claims through his lawyer and an affidavit at the U.S. Supreme Court that interrogators sliced his chest and penis with a scalpel during 18 months in Morocco in 2002 and 2003. U.S. forces, he says, handed him over to the Moroccans, before they sent him to Guantánamo in September 2004.

Late Sunday, his attorney wrote British Foreign Secretary David Milliband asking that he intervene to preserve evidence, since Mohamed lived in Britain and sought asylum in the early 1990s.

''We can prove that a photographic record was made of this by the CIA,'' Clive Stafford Smith wrote in the letter, which copies in U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

``Through diligent investigation we know when the CIA took pictures of Mr. Mohamed's brutalized genitalia, we know the identity of the CIA agents who were present including the person who took the pictures (we know both their false identities and their true names), and we know what those pictures show.''

what a sorry bunch of people doing the work of our cia

They also kept records of everything and tried to destroy them all. WHY do they want souvenirs? Well I hope it bites them in the end, whether today or forty years from now, fuckers.

when I first learned of the type of weird stuff they were doing in Abu Gharaib. We call it torture but torture's purpose is to terrorize. It says much about the psyche of those in government now. Pretty sick.

Want justice? Don't come here!:grr:
