A series of documents have been released detailing clearly the Labour government's willing complicity in the torture and abuse of its' citizens. You can look at the bits of the documents that aren't "redacted" with annotations here.
As you know I am no fan of the concept of nationalism or the idea of countries but the sickening thing about this is that it is clear that one of the few positive elements of nationalism, that the nation state will protect all of its' citizens and ensure their equal rights to fair treatment and safety is a lie. Just as whites can't be terrorists it seems that brown and black people aren't citizens.
The heir apparent to the leadership of the labour party David Miliband is a former foreign secretary and has yet to change his position that no torture occurred with Britain's acquiescence.
