Exploring the few cases that have come to light such as those of Guantanamo detainees Shafiq Rasul and Binyam Mohamed Peirce argues that they are evidence of a deeply entrenched culture of impunity toward the new suspect community in the UK - British Muslim nationals and residents. Peirce shows how the British government has colluded in a whole range of extrajudicial activities - rendition internment without trial torture - and has gone to extraodinary lengths to conceal its actions: its devices for maintaining secrecy are probably more deep-rooted than those of any other comparable democracy.
