<snip>
A Libyan Islamist has told how he and his family were imprisoned after being "rendered" in an operation MI6 hatched in co-operation with Muammar Gaddafi's intelligence services. The rendition occurred shortly before Tony Blair paid his first visit to the dictator.

Sami al-Saadi, his wife and four children, the youngest a girl aged six, were flown from Hong Kong to Tripoli, where they were taken straight to prison. Saadi was interrogated under torture while his family were held in a nearby cell.


The evidence that the family were victims of a British-led rendition operation is contained in a secret CIA document found in the abandoned office of Moussa Koussa, Gaddafi's former intelligence chief, in Tripoli last week.

In London, meanwhile, an official inquiry into Britain's role in torture and rendition since 9/11 says the government has provided information about the UK's role in the affair, and Whitehall sources defended intelligence agencies' actions by saying they were following "ministerially authorised government policy".

This ducker is posing as a man of peace

It is the first time evidence has emerged that the British intelligence agencies ran their own rendition operation, as opposed to co-operating with those that were mounted by the CIA.

1. How can he even stand to look at himself in the mirror?

That he was ever chosen to be the so called Middle East peace envoy after Iraq, must have been a sick joke to the Arab people. He's making millions now giving speeches, though apparently not many in the UK .... they know him too well. I hate that azzhole.

2. War criminals are now peace envoys

WTF is going on on this planet?

3. I'm not sure, but it seems to be spreading. These torture freaks

all need to be frogmarched to The Hague, not jetting around the world spreading their bullshit. I was hoping Wikileaks and Anonymous might just start big enough fires to get some sort of action against the lying warmonger / torturers. Maybe there's still a chance.
