The Myth of Middle Ground
‘On Monday night, Jon Snow on Channel 4 News in London broadcast an excellent report on Binyam Mohamed’s plight, featuring the heroic work of Mohamed’s lawyer, Air Force Lt. Col. Yvonne Bradley. The report was broadcast the night before the hearing in San Fransisco where the Obama DOJ adopted Bush’s state secrets argument. It is highly worth watching, and as one reviews the full extent of already disclosed facts about what happened here, one can only marvel at how patently frivolous is the Obama DOJ’s claim that litigation of this case would risk disclosure of vital state secrets’
