Its devices for maintaining secrecy are probably more deep-rooted than those of any other comparable democracy.If the government continues along this path, Peirce argues, it will destroy the moral and legal fabric it claims to be protecting.. Exploring the few cases of torture that have come to light, such as those of Guantánamo detainees Shafiq Rasul and Binyam Mohamed, Peirce argues that they are evidence of a deeply entrenched culture of impunity among those investigating presumed radicals among British Muslim nationals and residents, who constitute the new suspect community in the UK.Peirce shows that the British government has colluded in a whole range of extrajudicial activities – rendition, internment without trial, torture – and has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal its actions.
