Perverting the course of justice

  http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/20/libyan-rendition-claim-uk-interests Libyan told he cannot pursue rendition claim in case it harms UK interests Abdel Hakim Belhaj said the judge thought 'it might embarrass the Americans'. Bloody outrageous. All those responsible for this scandalous decision, including Mr Justice Simon, should be put on trial for perverting the course of justice.

Bradley Manning, Julian Assange and probably others. It has nothing to do with leaking "state secrets" or  putting the country's intelligence network at risk or compromising "sources". It is and always has been, about embarrassing the American government and the security organisations, by exposing their dubious and illegal intelligence gathering methods and the way in which they assume that they are above the laws of any country, including their own.
