In the period December 2002 to March 2003 I raised several times the issue of intelligence material from the Uzbek security services which was obtained under torture and passed to us via the CIA. I queried the legality, efficacy and morality of the practice.
I was summoned to the UK for a meeting on 8 March 2003. Michael Wood gave his legal opinion that it was not illegal to obtain and to use intelligence acquired by torture. He said the only legal limitation on its use was that it could not be used in legal proceedings, under Article 15 of the UN Convention on Torture.

The total of loans, mortgages, overdrafts and credit card purchases is massive and in Britain stands at some £780 billion, £500 of which is born by ordinary people. The Americans, supposedly the richest citizens ever to walk the face of the planet, are the most heavily indebted people of the world, carrying morgage debts that currently total $4.2 trillion.

HRW: Was there any discussion of the Red Cross coming?
"Yeah, they said that the Red Cross would never be able to get in there at all."
Jeff explained that the colonel told them that he “had this directly from General Mc Chrystal? and the Pentagon that there’s no way that the Red Cross could get in.”... He explained that they were told: “they just don’t have access, and they won’t have access, and they never will. This facility was completely closed off to anybody investigating. Even Army investigators.”

Blies, damn blies and statistics.

'Hand on heart, I did what I thought was right'

Tony Bliar's leaving words to his Sedgefield constituency.

I see 4 possible interpretations:

1. What he thinks is right is to start an unprovoked war of aggression: 'the supreme international crime'. Some might think that puts his judgement in question.

2. He didn't know he was starting a war. Some might think that puts his brain in question.

3. He misplaced his heart. God knows where his hand was.

4. He is blying, damn blying.

On this page I shall collect all information I can find in order to weigh up the evidence - which at least is more than he did.
