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.

    There needs to be essentially a permanent inquiry in the UK into its own spy services because of their relationship with the US.

    The US does not have any "political will" to investigate itself so it only happens indirectly via the UK's collaboration. The US routinely shits its brick and violates their constitution while saluting the military for defending freedoms granted by the constitution. Yeah, ok no shit you've all seen this at least once in your lifetime already.

    Rock on inquiry! Bring the UK slags to their knees.
