The government has admitted that British troops in Iraq handed over terror suspects to the US, which then secretly rendered them to a prison in Afghanistan.

After a year of allegations and repeated ministerial assurances to the contrary, the admission was made in the Commons by John Hutton, the defence secretary, who apologised to MPs for inaccurate information ministers had previously given them.

Incompetent or liars?

Pretty dirty week so far after that Jack Straw Iraq BS...

You don't really believe they tell politicians everything. I mean come on, you have seen and heard from the British politicians. You want them to know nothing of any importance.

Top brass civil servants may well be dumb, but nowhere near that dumb.

Then the questions are being asked to the wrong people. Sadly it's rare to ever see anyone in a high up position take responsibility for anything...
