Hidden headline in Binyam Mohamed case: 1 in 4 CIA ops in UK!
This in connection to the US supposedly wanting the classified memo revealing Binyam Mohamed's torture at the hands of the Pakistanis and MI5 kept secret.

The Guardian:

" . . . Intelligence sources have revealed that there was a second, legitimate, reason for doing as the US government asked in restricting the material published: MI5 is more dependent than ever on the CIA for help in monitoring the 2,000 terrorist suspects in the UK.

The CIA is now running a large network of its own informers in the British Pakistani community. Their information has helped thwart terrorist attacks in the UK and locate senior al-Qaeda operatives abroad.

The US has stepped up intelligence gathering in the UK to such an extent over the last 18 months that one in four CIA operations designed to prevent a repeat of the 9/11 attacks on the US homeland is now conducted against targets in the UK.

This information is pretty stunning. Looks like the UK has a huge problem vis their Pakistani ex-pat population, no? Good thing we spent all that time and money on the central front in the GWOT, in Iraq!
