ScienceDaily: "The continued detention by the U.S. military of two ethnic Uighurs at Guantanamo Bay is 'unlawful', a federal judge has ruled.
Robertson's decision reads: 'The detention of these petitioners has now become indefinite. This indefinite imprisonment at Guantanamo Bay is unlawful.'"

TimesOnline: "It was astounding enough for Washington's political elite: last month they discovered that the man at the heart of a scandal over the planting of US propaganda in Iraqi newspapers was a dapper but unknown 30-year-old Oxford graduate who had somehow managed to land a $100 million Pentagon contract.
What is even more remarkable however, after an investigation by The Times, is that just ten years ago Christian Bailey, whose US company is under investigation for planting fake news stories in Iraqi newspapers, was a nerdy, socially awkward English school-leaver called Jozefowicz.
This month it was revealed that Mr Bailey's US company, the Lincoln Group, was the recipient of a Pentagon contract to help to fight the information war in Iraq. It then emerged that the company was paying Iraqi journalists to plant optimistic news 'stories' in Iraqi papers that had been written by the US military."
