LONDON (AP) — Britain acted lawfully in the case of a Guantanamo Bay detainee who alleges he was the victim of torture, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Wednesday.

I am so disappointed in him, almost makes me wish for a backbench rebellion or a David Cameron victory to bury forever the fraud known as New Labour.
