The need for silence

Three years ago, high court judges hearing the Mohamed case said the CIA material which the US and British governments were fighting to suppress "could never properly be described in a democracy as 'a secret' or an 'intelligence secret' or a 'summary of classified intelligence'". Rather, what it revealed was "admissions of what officials of the US did to BM [Mohamed] during his detention in Pakistan".
