The chief justice of the British High Court on Wednesday gave the British government one week to obtain the U.S. release of classified information about the alleged torture of a British resident who'd been detained at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba .The court indicated that it would issue its own order if the government doesn't respond or justify why continued secrecy is warranted.

"By making deliberately vague public statements, David Miliband and the Obama administration have tried to spin their way out of serious trouble, said Clive Stafford-Smith , founder of the legal-aid charity Reprieve, which also represents other detainees still held at Guantanamo Bay . "Such evasive tactics have no place at the British High Court ."
Well, good luck with that.
