Torture appeal lost by UK government
#2
Good. I never found torture very appealing myself and have no idea why it is so popular with the UKUSA and others. The 'evidence' is useless in any case. And 'national security' is almost always just about cover one's arse. I suppose the MI5/6 people were just having a cuppa next door while he was being tortured and had no hand in it at all? Why does the UK persists with the 'special relationship' with the US? If the US no longer shares its intelligence with them it doesn't seem such a loss to me as I have yet to see that the US has ever used its intelligence in a meaningful way. They never foresaw any of the major events of the 20th century from Pearl Harbour, fall of the Berlin Wall, collapse of communism, 911, 7/7, fall of the Shah of Iran. I don't think the UK could do any worse on their own. I suppose, on the other hand, it could all just be theatre for the masses. Perish the thought.
