Quotes

...Jack Straw, the then Foreign Secretary, dismissed the evidence. He told MPs in December that year that "unless we all start to believe in conspiracy theories and that the officials are lying, that I am lying, that behind this there is some kind of secret state which is in league with some dark forces in the United States … there simply is no truth in the claims that the United Kingdom has been involved in rendition."

‘UK deeply involved in CIA renditions’ [Published Press tv - 20 hours ago]

"Everyone has positive things to say about him. He represented the university away from Stirling, so he was like an ambassador. "It?s one of those things you see on the news but you never think it could happen so close to home. It?s devastating." The bodies of Pte Hetherington plus comrades Cpl Savage (30) and 21-year-old Fusilier Flint were repatriated to Britain last Thursday. They were flown to RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, by a Hercules transporter."
