Nor would the department say whether ministers had been made aware of concerns about human rights abuses there.

However, one peculiarity of the way in which UK forces operated when bringing prisoners to Camp Nama suggests that ministers and senior MoD officials may have had reason to know those detainees were at risk of mistreatment.....

Hoon should be in black hole. Some how despite knowing nothing about any thing that man collected a pay check and had a position in parliament and will receive a pension and have a comfortable retirement unlike the poor Iraqis that were murdered by the British and US military cannon fodder. I suppose it is hard to see any thing happening around you when you have your head so far up George Bush's arse that you can't see day light.
