""The full story of the British government's attempts to mount
a cover-up following a massacre of unarmed prisoners during the 1950s Mau Mau
insurgency in Kenya has been disclosed with the declassification of hitherto
secret files from the era. The documents - held for five decades in a secret
Foreign Office archive - show that ministers and officials were claiming that
the men had died after drinking contaminated water long after they had been
informed of the truth: that all 11 had been been beaten to death."" (thanks Amir)
