If you are white British and have been tortured in the UK, no one wants to know.It wouldn't be the done thing to expose the extent of UK mainland torture. The media run scared of the UK establishment's acts against innocent British citizens.Newsnight asked for stories to investigate. When you contact them and inform them you have evidence of torture and corruption, they don't even acknowledge with a reply.You would get a far better response if you started doing something about the regime of torture in the UK. More people in the UK have been tortured, and in far more dangerous circumstances, than you cover here.Why are you pretending to go through the motions. Why don't you do something on the large scale torture which occurs in the UK. As a public service broadcaster why do you not inform and assist the public by making them aware of what is going on, and what they could face, at any time?

Finally a question to you Mr Marshall:Why has the BBC not asked Mr Binyam or his defence team to explain why he attended a terrorist training camp?. Tue 31 Mar 2009 19:53:40 GMT+1
