Gadaffi a vital ally in war on terror, documents reveal

There's a bit of a stink rising in Great Britain about how tight the Gadaffi regime was with various Western intelligence services.

Specifically, Gadaffi had a very cosy relationship with Britain's MI6, cosy to the point that Gadaffi's torturer-in-chief Mousa Kousa and various senior Brit anti-terror types were on a first name basis.

So cosy that they collaborated on the illegal rendition of suspected al-Qaeda operatives.

So cosy that they worked together to set up a phoney radical mosque.

So cosy that if Gadaffi was ever to face charges of crimes against humanity, the entire upper echelon of the British security services would have to be sitting in the prisoners box at the Hague right there alongside him.

Which would explain the untoward haste with which Gadaffi was dispatched to his reward.
