Tonight we look into the rendition claims made by a Libyan rebel military commander, which if true would suggest a closer than expected relationship between the US and ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's regime. Abdel Hakim Belhaj claims he was tortured by CIA agents who suspected him of being an al-Qaeda terrorist and then handed by the Americans to Gaddafi's intelligence services. Peter Marshall will be reporting on that and we will be talking to Menzies Campbell and to Michael Sheuer, former head of the CIA's Bin Laden unit. We are looking at the draft emergency measures to relocate terror suspects under Tpims, terrorism prevention and investigation measures. The relocation powers had been ditched by the coalition, but under draft emergency legislation they could be brought back in exceptional circumstances. We will be talking to Hazel Blears and Tom Brake, co-chairman of the Liberal Democrat backbench committee on home affairs. And whatever happened to silly season that period of summer typified by the emergence of frivolous news stories in the media? Stephen Smith reports.
