Mozzam Begg's CAGE organisation now having a press conference basically claiming Emwazi was 'harassed' by MI5 and blaming the UK for turning him into a jihadist. They claim Emwazi's trip to Tanzania was an entirely innocent safari holiday.
So, the security services knew his name but refused to release his name? Hmm...
It may have been much more profitable in terms of intelligence gathering to the security services NOT to name him. Naming him serves little purpose to us apart from finger-pointing but building up a picture of his contacts and movements whilst maintaining his anonimity might be invaluable. Not every piece of information has to or should be immediately put into the public domain

It's a bit fake of them to give the impression that they don't know though.

The US currently have a $10 mil reward for his capture, find out where he lives then spend, spend, spend!
I would have thought that they'd have put up quite a bit more than that. They obviously mustn't want him that bad then. Now, if it was $70m, well...
"Two Muslims have crashed a speedboat into the Thames barrier in London .
Police think it might be the start of Ram-a-dam."
Doesn't really make any difference to us that we know his name though.

Anyone watching the BBC news at the moment?.
According to the guy from "CAGE" its all the security forces fault that Jihadi John went bad.
It is a jaw-dropping conference!
Yes he was such a gentle guy.
Seems very much like it.
I thought you would have known, you know everything else.;-)
Yep, it sure is.

They are saying that it was the fault of the security services that made he behave in such a manner. He was a good boy really!
CAGE are going to get crucified (not the best expression) in the press.
"It's all our fault" is the standard excuse from these scumbags, and plenty on here fall for it.
Why? It may give him a false sense of security
It's the Security Services. They are not supposed to tell us everything, and rightly so.
Keeping secrets and, on occasion, lying about stuff is kind of what we pay them to do. That's part of the whole "being spies" deal.
