A shocking new report alleges widespread complicity between British security agents and their Pakistani counterparts who have routinely engaged in the torture of suspects.
"Britain's former chief legal adviser, Lord Goldsmith, said that the Foreign Office would want to examine any British involvement in torture allegations very carefully and, if necessary, bring individuals "to book" to ensure such behaviour was "eradicated"".
Would this be the very same Lord Goldsmith who changed his legal advice to suit Tony Blair's wish to support the Bush regime in its illegal war in Iraq? Not to mention the BAE/Saudi arms scandal. It beggars belief that the Foreign Office wants to examine its own role in this affair, given Jack Straw's and David Miliband's involvement as former and present Foreign Secretary. As for bringing to book, didn't the dodgy dossier constitute a book?
