We are guilty

we must not be distracted. The issue over torture and our involvement and collaboration with the Americans on this must be thoroughly investigated.

For example, who gave the orders for the British soldiers to detain people and then hand them over to another party. I want the Americans to show who was on the circulation list for these memos, did they send a copy or relay the contents to any British Minister, even the Prime Minister. Did any of the senior Britsih commanders have any knowledge whatsoever into what could happen to prisoners handed over by British soldiers.

We saw what happened to certain people in Iraq when British soldiers actually filmed being hit for allegedly looting or throwing stones at soldiers. I think that was the tip of the iceberg.

Jack Straw must order an investigation, I regard our part in the whole CIA operation as being participation in war crimes.
