Richard Norton-Taylor, The Guardian UK: "Lawyers for a British resident held at Guantanamo Bay have accused Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, of signing a 'flagrantly false' affidavit to avoid having to disclose evidence of torture. In a sworn affidavit to a district court in Washington, Gates says the US authorities have provided Binyam Mohamed's lawyers and the British government with all the information they possess relating to Mohamed's treatment while held in secret prisons. Gates declared his affidavit to be the truth 'under penalty of perjury.'"
