There was a documentary shown on Canadian TV during the run up to the invasion of Iraq that basically substantiated the massacre of detainees who were transported by container truck in Afghanistan, right down to the bullet holes in the containers to supposedly provide air for the prisoners. I'm surprised there were Britons on board that any survived to tell the tale. The documentary stated that the camp in Afghanistan was overseen by the US.

Excuse my cynicism, but after the Canadian, Arar's, deportation by the US to Syria for torture, it does appear to be US policy to have their dirty work done by others, whenever possible. I'm also at a loss as to how any civilised nation can justify Guantanamo.

Devising loopholes and resorting to expediency does seem to be the order of the day. Maybe that's what happens when you have an administration who believes that government should behave in the same manner as their corporate businesses and with the same moral imperative.
