Most of the discussion of Britain’s collaboration with the Gadhafi regime has centered on MI6’s role in the capture, rendition and subsequent torture of Abdulhakim Belhaj, one of the top military leaders in the new National Transitional Council.
But today, a new cache of documents found their way into the hands of the Daily Mail showing much broader collaboration by the MI5, with the spy agency setting up Gadhafi agents with safe houses in London and participating in the intimidation of Libyan exiles in Britain.
Some of the documents say that the MI5 confronted exiles who were on bad terms with Gadhafi and threatened to deport them back to Libya after they had already been granted asylum.
Experts say that the operations were not only a violation of British criminal law, but the Geneva Conventions and the Human Rights Act, to both of which British are signatories. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair insisted he doesn’t remember authorizing such operations.
No matter where in the world and in what country the Brits are, no matter if they play a role as a friend or an enemy, they should never ever be trusted.
For instance, during the revolution in Iran, the Shah was constantly consulting with the British, seeking their advice. The fool never knew that the Brits were actually behind the plot to oust him.
Similarly, their relations with Qaddafi in Libya may have seemed friendly on the surface, but behind the mask of friendship they were spying and investigating what is the best way to kick him out, as they finally killed him in their role in NATO. NEVER TRUST THE BACK-STABBING BRUTISH GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blair claiming Alzheimers disease is understandable, but the rest of us might also recall that Gadhaffi's intelligence agents traveled to Guantanamo to interrogate Omar Deghayes, in the company of US intelligence officials. The facts are available in Clive Stafford Smith's book 'Bad Men'.
None of this 'news' should come as any surprise.
