UK criticised over role in US rendition

The Intelligence and Security Committee said British agencies continued to supply intelligence to allies despite knowing or suspecting abuse in more than 200 cases.

Committee chairman Dominic Grieve said agencies knew of incidents that were "plainly unlawful".

The findings have sparked fresh calls for an independent, judge-led inquiry.

The two parliamentary reports, published following a three-year investigation, examine how far Britain's intelligence agencies were aware of the mistreatment of terrorism suspects.

    US and UK intel have been inbreeding for generations. Appalachia has nothing on them. When the US has Boston Baked Beans for dinner, the UK gets gas. When the UK has cabbage for lunch, the US gets gas. They're like Siamese twins, FFS. It isn't merely complicity, they are joined together in everything they do. If one did something totally unexpected, the other would stumble and fall.
