This is one way:
"British officers charged in terror case; Four allegedly beat suspect after his arrest" by John F. Burns, New York Times | August 13, 2010
LONDON — One of Britain’s longest-running terrorism cases took a sharp turn yesterday when the Crown Prosecution Service announced that four Scotland Yard police officers would face trial for carrying out what the nation’s top police officer previously admitted was a “prolonged attack’’ on the chief suspect.
The decision came after nearly seven years of controversy in the case and appeared likely to further delay moves to extradite the man involved, Babar Ahmad, to the United States. Ahmad is wanted in Connecticut on charges of running militant Islamic websites that authorities say were used to recruit and raise money for terrorists and to serve as a conduit for supplies for terrorist groups.
Translation: CIA wants their asset back.
Ahmad and his lawyers have maintained in a succession of British court hearings that the officers punched and kicked him, subjected him to a “life-threatening’’ neck hold, pulled his testicles, and mocked his Islamic faith. At one point, he said, they forced him into a praying position while one officer shouted, “Where is your God now? Pray to him!’’ and at another point, an officer was said to have told him, “You will remember this day for the rest of your life.’’
In other words, torture.
*******
All were members of the Territorial Support Group, a specially trained unit sent to arrest Ahmad in December 2003....
Ahmad, 36, an engineering graduate specializing in digital technology, has been detained without trial since 2004, longer than any other detainee caught up in the multiple terrorism cases that have come to court in Britain since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Throughout that time, he and his lawyers have said that he was criminally assaulted by the Scotland Yard team that made the original arrest at his south London home.
US prosecutors say the groups supported by the websites that Ahmad oversaw included Al Qaeda, Chechen rebels, and the Taliban in Afghanistan. British prosecutors concluded by 2006 that there was insufficient evidence to charge him with any criminal offense in Britain, shifting the legal battle to the US bid to win his extradition.
The British government approved the extradition in 2005, but Ahmad appealed. He took his case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, which last month imposed a temporary ban on any further attempts to extradite him.

I'm so sick of flipping the pages of the newspaper and seeing terrorists, Al-CIA-Duh, terrorists, Al-CIA-Duh, terrorists, Al-CIA-Duh.
It's nothing but lying, agenda-pushing garbage and I'm really down on it now.
