Jeopardizing UK/US Relations?

E-mail to Congress:

EIN News says, "Britain Can No Longer Be Trusted, Says U.S. Intelligence ties between London and Washington have been jeopardized by a British court's disclosure that a terrorism suspect was beaten and shackled in U.S. custody, diplomats and security officials said. Fears in the United States that Britain can no longer be trusted with secrets is prompting an urgent assessment of relations between the allies and - according to some sources - has already slowed the flow of sensitive information from the U.S. (cbsnews.com)".


Do not overreact. The British Royal family and its governmental arm have for many years been a valuable and trusted ally of the US. In spite of that, it would have been and continues to be silly to trust a foreign government with significant political and military information, in which it would actually have no need.

I consider the release by a British court of all time all time information concerning US treatment of a terrorism suspect to be insignificant. Terrorism suspects should be beaten and shackled as required to protect the American public. Myrandizing a murder suspect and subsequent shackling and torture are unjustified with respect to an individual's private rights. The essence here is that the suspect is not likely to jeopardize life and limb of a large number of people. That is not the case with a terrorism suspect.
We don't jeopardize international relations based on the philosophy and statements of a single non-powerful person. If that person had been the Queen of England or the Prime Minister, it would be a completely different matter.
