blessed britons

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.

* Junk mail in the U.S. accounts for one-third of all the mail delivered in the world
* More than 100,000,000,000 pieces of junk mail are delivered each year (that’s more than 800 pieces per household)
* The greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the manufacturing of the 6.5 million tons of paper required for junk mail annually is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions of 3.7 million cars
* More than 100 million trees a year are cut down and made into paper for junk mail. Those trees come from endangered forests like Canada’s Boreal and Indonesia’s rainforests
