I am sure the Daily Mirror, if they did not have to shell out all that money for telling lies, would have been fighting for this British subject illegally held all these years by the yanks. Even more surprised the Daily Mail has not got behind the case like they did with Gary McKinnon.
He has been held for 11 years without trial and without a conviction against him. They want to deposit him in a country thousands of miles from were his family are. He wants yo sue his interrogators for spreading lies. If they did not spread lies then they have nothing to fear. If they did, then yet more taxpayers money will have been squandered by the security services.
Meanwhile Frankie Boyle, a man sympathetic to his cause gets an unexpected windfall of £50,000 and decides he will help the other fellow.
Sounds like a win-win situation all round.
