Ex-Head of MI5 on torture

A fascinating talk last night at the House of Lords by Eliza Manningham-Buller, the ex-Head of MI5, where she admitted that the Americans had been less than forthcoming about their mistreatment of detainees to the British secret service. Here is the BBC report on the issue and here is the report on it by the Huffington Post in the US. She made it very clear that the British view was that torture was completely unacceptable and that to use torture was to become like the enemy you were trying to fight.
