Proof that the British Government is happy to torture...
This item was posted here - and may well be stamped on by the UK government Get it while you can.

"It’s not often you get an email from a former British Ambassador asking you to contravene the official secrets act:

With Bliar cornered on extraordinary rendition, they are particularly anxious to suppress all evidence of our complicity in obtaining intelligence from Uzbek torture.

This will only work if we can get the very widely posted, including on sites in the US and elsewhere outside the UK … there is a chance that those who … post this stuff will get threatened under the Official Secrets Act.
In March 2003 I was summoned back to London from Tashkent specifically for a meeting at which I was told to stop protesting. I was told specifically that it was perfectly legal for us to obtain and to use intelligence from the Uzbek torture chambers."

UK Ambassadors Documents - via perfect.co.uk

Looks like everyone is keen to get in on the act. We are all complicit - until we throw this cabal of criminals into prison.
