Hi Fred,
No, this is a still unfolding — or still unraveling — story. I’m amazed that this whole part of the story seems to have dropped out of sight entirely.
Thanks for getting in touch.

I cannot see the logic, if one goes to america and fight the american then he is considered a terrorist. If american goes to afghanistan to kill the afghan, and if afghan defends himself and his invaders, then he is a terrorist. In this case, I think being a terrorist is better than the invaders.

Also, in response to Ben’s comments about inconsistencies in the timeline proposed in David’s article, it’s occurred to me that Informant A could have been seized in the Jalalabad area, “turned” while in Afghan custody, when British agents visited him and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse, sent to Pakistan to spy on the situation there (numerous Guantanamo prisoners — and others who “disappeared” — were seized in house raids in Pakistan in the first five months of 2002), and then moved to Bagram, in an attempt to exploit the prisoners there.

Your thoughts are welcome …

David,
For some reason known only to themselves (and as Ben noted at 9, above — follow the link), the Mail on Sunday replaced David’s original article with an edited version, credited to Vanessa Allen, yesterday afternoon.
I’m looking into it.

Andy,

Just one thing that confuses me:

You talk about David Rose’s article in the Mail on Sunday. The CommonDreams website article by David Rose is presented in such a way as to suggest that it was published in the Mail on Sunday. As far as I can ascertain the only article entitled “MI5 ‘Used Muslim 007′ to Turn British Torture Victim in Moroccan Prison” was actually written by Vanessa Allen and makes no mention of the information you highlight from the David Rose version.

What’s going on Andy?
