Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

February 11, 2009

Ethiopian-born Binyam Mohammed is one of the few detainees grateful to be confined at Guantanamo Bay. Gitmo holds few horrors for Mohammed after the unspeakable torture he suffered elsewhere at the hands of US subcontractors.

Mohammed, a legal resident of Great Britain, was kidnapped by the CIA and sent to Morocco. There he was chained to a wall, forcibly drugged with heroin, and routinely beaten. The worst torment involved the use of razor-sharp scalpels to inflict a series of small but painful incisions all over his body, including his genitals. Witnesses have seen the wounds on his back and chest.

A British government inquiry into Mohammed?s treatment has been stymied by Washington, which threatens to withhold counter-terrorism intelligence if additional evidence of torture is made public.

Any government that uses gangster methods to conceal torture and other crimes is worthy of being called a terrorist regime.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
