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.

    The closest thing to torture that actually works, is the good cop, bad cop routine.

    That depends on the meaning of "works". If you want a confession, irrespective of the truth, yes that (plus other forms of torture) work.

    If you want truthful information, torture generally doesn't work. Especially when you are torturing someone who knows nothing.
