How much of a bastard was Jack Straw again? This much.
Scotland Yard has opened a criminal investigation into secret MI6 rendition operations that resulted in leading Libyan dissidents being abducted and flown to Tripoli where they were subsequently tortured in Muammar Gaddafi’s prisons….The year after the joint UK-Libyan operations were mounted, Straw told MPs they must disbelieve allegations of UK involvement in rendition “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”.
“unless we all start to believe … 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”.
What does he mean, start to believe?
There was UK involvement in rendition therefore conspiracy theorists were right. QED!
