With ongoing controversy surrounding the conduct of the war in Iraq and the treatment of terror suspects in the wider "War on Terror", Newsnight staged a special programme entitled: "Allies on Trial".
Allegations about the allies' conduct of war in Iraq, counter-insurgency measures and claims of torture in the "War on Terror" - plus the use of "extraordinary rendition" by the US - continue to surface.


Jeremy Paxman chaired a special programme exploring whether the allies are guilty of war crimes.


The programme took the form of a trial, with advocates arguing the case for the prosecution and defence with the help of witness and expert testimony.
