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.

    You are a big part of the problem. Unless and until a person is tried and convicted, with concrete evidence, in a fair trial, they are "mere suspects" and nothing more. Yet without trial or evidence the US government will hold people indefinitely, without charge or legal representation, and quite literally torture them, sometimes until death.
