UK role in US illegal rendition exposed by secret memo
The UK failed to track detainees handed over to the US, neglecting to protect them from possible torture in America's secret prisons. That's been revealed after an agreement between the two states on the treatment of terror-suspects captured in Iraq was declassified. 28-year-old Pakistani Yunus Rahmatullah is one of the victims of this deal. He was seized by British soldiers in Iraq in 2004 as a suspected insurgent and secretly sent to a US detention camp in Afghanistan, a process dubbed extraordinary rendition. The man's lawyers are calling on the UK to help free him as Britain was the detaining authority.

Libya: Obama lied about Gaddafi's bloodbath

President Obama said that Gaddafi's regime was going to cause a bloodbath in Libya. Professor Alan J Kuperman of the University at Texas argues, however, that the president's claims were exaggerated and that the civil war should be over by now. One month after they intervened, NATO and the US have not put an end to a war that otherwise would have resolved itself.

Media Lies About Libya and Gaddafi!
NATO admits killing babies / civilians
NATO has admitted that civilians were killed in an air strike on a Tripoli suburb on Sunday. Gaddafi officials say two babies were among the nine dead. It's the first time the Alliance has conceded responsibility for civilian deaths, although Libya's Health Ministry claims more than 800 people have died in three months of air attacks. Maria Finoshina reports now from the capital Tripoli. You may find some of the images disturbing.
NATO has warned Libyan civilians to distance themselves from forces loyal to ruler Muammar Gaddafi to allow it to strike those forces with 'greater success and with minimum risk to civilians.'
On Wednesday, Libyan state media reported that seven people were killed in a NATO airstrike in the capital, Tripoli. The military alliance is facing mounting criticisms over the civilian losses in the North African nation. Press TV talks with Dr. Webster Griffin Tarpley, author and historian in Maryland, about the developing quagmire and conflict between the Western countries over crisis-hit Libya.
At least seven civilians in Libya have been killed by a NATO airstrike which hit a residential area overnight. Earlier, the Alliance confirmed it had mistakenly attacked rebel forces, but the number killed in that friendly-fire attack is not known. In the middle of the night, Tripoli's Souk al-Juma district was woken up by a blast, when a bomb, or several bombs, landed in this residential area. Several three-story buildings have been destroyed as a result. According to initial reports, four families -- 12 to 14 people -- resided there, and at least seven inhabitants have been killed, while some are still missing.

Making a Killing: UK war-wallet bomb-doors open
With civilian casualties in Libya mounting and no end in sight, those paying for the intervention might be stumping up more than they bargained for. The UK has announced that its taxpayers might see one point six billion dollars of their hard-earned cash diverted to fund the intervention. And, as RT's Laura Emmett reports, there's little patience left among an already disillusioned public.
