Torture

Visible to anyone in the world

may I show an extract from John Hutton said in parliament on the 26th February 2009 column 394 in respect of detainees:

Hutton continued, 'for the initial stages of the campaign in Iraq, we also had in place a memorandum of understanding with the US and Australian Governments covering arrangements for the treatment and transfer of detainees'.

All I would ask is that the government publishes without any amendments, or blanked out lines, the memorandum. Surely the printing of such a document would possibly negate the need for any inquiry into claims of 'torture'.
