LONDON: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said the United States will restrict intelligence-sharing with the UK if a British court reveals secret details of a former Guantanamo Bay detainee's treatment, a British government lawyer said Wednesday.
Karen Steyn, a lawyer acting on behalf of the British government, told Britain's High Court that Clinton had explained to her counterpart, Foreign Secretary David Miliband, that intelligence sharing between the two countries is at risk if a court makes public so far undisclosed sections of a 2008 ruling on the alleged torture of Binyam Mohamed.
