Top UK judge slams Camp Delta
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/3238624.stm
One of Britain's most senior judges has condemned the US over the detention of terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay.
Lord Steyn said conditions at Camp Delta were of "utter lawlessness", in a speech seen by Channel 4 News.
The Law Lord said the US was guilty of a "monstrous failure of justice" and challenged UK ministers to condemn the decision to hold any prisoners there.
He said detainees were "beyond the rule of law, beyond the protection of any courts and at the mercy of victors".
Lord Steyn's comments came as Australia said the US had agreed that two of its citizens at the camp would not face the death penalty, although they could face a military tribunal.
British officials said the deal would not affect talks over two UK citizens also facing trial at the base.
'Not quite torture'
Lord Steyn said the nine British prisoners in Guantanamo Bay had been failed by the UK Government - even though a guarantee sparing them the death penalty had been reached.
