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.

Researchers measured world carbon emissions from 1950 to 1986 and found that the United States, with about 5% of the world's population, was responsible for 30% of the cumulative emissions, whereas India, with 17% of the world's population, was responsible for less than 2% of the emissions. It is as if, in a village of 20 people all using the same bathtub, one person had shed 30% of the hair blocking the drain hold and 3 people had shed virtually no hair at all.
