The reason why this one month old case has come to light now is very simple.
The US administration need more distractions from the real issues which they are failing to deal with.
Bush has stuffed up in Iraq so any news about spies is just another sensational distraction. The media love spy stories and lap them up.
Almost two years out from hostilities in Afghanistan and people are being held by the US government without trial or access to rudimentary contact with consular or legal assistance. The US simply loses credibility in the rest of the world when it acts like those it seeks to prosecute.
The US can carry on with this behaviour all it likes, as long as it does so it simply legitimises itself as a terrorist target to extremists around the world.
