I understand that the British Government confirmed over the last couple of days that ‘waterboarding’ a technique used to simulate drowning when torturing and interrogating someone would definitely be defined as torture under and UK law and therefore completely forbidden.

I was just wondering where the British government was when they were sending people off to other countries to be tortured, where they were when members of our secret services were interviewing British people under foreign detention due to rendition, witnessing the torture they were subjected to and leaving them to it.

Finally one wonders how the British government can justify extraditing any people from this country to the United States and country which uses waterboarding and therefore by definition is a state of terrorism. In fact, when is Britain going to put it into writing that the United States is a country that conducts terrorism.

It has to be said that it should include itself on the list as well because lets face it we are just as complicit as the United States if only a little better at hiding it.
