"Sami al Saadi, Libyan Dissident, In £2.23m Payout From UK Government For 'Sending Him To Gaddafi For Torture' "
We didn't torture him so why should we pay?
The time we could be the world's policeman is long gone. The UK is now a tiny outpost.

CIA correspondence with Libyan intelligence, found in spy chief Moussa Koussa’s office by Human Rights Watch after the fall of Tripoli, states that “we are…aware that your service had been cooperating with the British to effect [Sami al Saadi’s] removal to Tripoli…the Hong Kong Government may be able to coordinate with you to render [Sami al Saadi] and his family into your custody.”
The operation in 2004 followed Tony Blair’s ‘Deal in the Desert’ with Gaddafi, as a result of which UK intelligence services helped track down and hand over his opponents.
Libyan intelligence agents forced Saadi onto a plane in Hong Kong with his wife, two sons aged 12 and nine, and two daughters aged 14 and six.
He described being handcuffed, and hoods placed over their heads, their leggs bound tightly with wire as they were returned to face retribution. The entire family, children included, were jailed.
Although his wife and children were released after two months, al Saadi was imprisoned for six years, during which time he says he was brutally beaten, given electric shocks and told he was facing death

A vile, despicable monster.
Gaddafi was a bit of a rum fellow too.

The big question at the BBC is: How can we pin this on the tories?
