Abdel Hakim Belhaj
Sorry seems to be the hardest word: Why Abdel Hakim Belhaj was never going to get an apology
Last week, an interesting revelation in an on-going legal case against the UK government for assistance in the extraordinary rendition of Abdul Hakim Belhaj, and his wife Fatima Bouchar, was widely reported; Belhaj offered to settle the case for £3 and an apology.
