That Curious Relationship

摘要

"It is often said the United States andrnA Great Britain have long enjoyed a special relationship," beamed Hillary Clinton, as Britain's foreign secretary, David Miliband, visited the new secretary of state in Washington, dc, on February 3rd. The next day Britain's High Court handed down a ruling that shed less flattering light on it. Lord Justice Thomas and Mr Justice Lloyd Jones said they could not make public evidence relating to the alleged torture of a British resident at American hands, for fear of a grave "threat" made by America last year if the evidence were published.
