It comes as no surprise but...
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jun/18/tony-blair-secret-tortu re-policy
| Quote: | Tony Blair was aware of the existence of a secret interrogation policy which effectively led to British citizens, and others, being tortured during counter-terrorism investigations, the Guardian can reveal.
The policy, devised in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, offered guidance to MI5 and MI6 officers questioning detainees in Afghanistan who they knew were being mistreated by the US military. |

| Quote: | Confidential memo reveals US plan to provoke an invasion of Iraq
* Jamie Doward, Gaby Hinsliff and Mark Townsend
* The Observer, Sunday 21 June 2009
A confidential record of a meeting between President Bush and Tony Blair before the invasion of Iraq, outlining their intention to go to war without a second United Nations resolution, will be an explosive issue for the official inquiry into the UK's role in toppling Saddam Hussein.
....
Bush told Blair the US had drawn up a provocative plan "to fly U2 reconnaissance aircraft painted in UN colours over Iraq with fighter cover". Bush said that if Saddam fired at the planes this would put the Iraqi leader in breach of UN resolutions. |
Long been known - but now discussed in MSM - false flag attack - whatever next?!

Revealed – the secret torture evidence MI5 tried to suppress
MP David Davis's dramatic parliamentary move exposes treatment of terror suspect,
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul/08/mi5-torture-evidence-david -davis
| Quote: | | ... ... ...Davis also said there was a pressing need for an inquiry into Britain's involvement in torture. "The Americans have made a clean breast of their complicity, whilst explicitly not prosecuting the junior officers who were acting under instruction. We have done the opposite. As it stands, we are awaiting a police investigation which will presumably end in the prosecution of frontline officers. At the same time the government is fighting tooth and nail to use state secrecy to cover up both crimes and political embarrassments, to protect those who are the real villains of the piece, those who approved the policies in the first place." |
That's the last paragraph.
Disgust.
