UK Lawmakers Accuse U.S. of Grave Rights Violations

"We conclude that United States personnel appear to have committed grave violations of human rights of persons held in detention in various facilities in Iraq, Guantanamo Bay and Afghanistan," the committee wrote in its influential annual report on human rights.
"We recommend that the government make it clear to the United States administration, both in public and private, that such treatment of detainees is unacceptable."
The committee said it was "surprising and unsettling" that the government had twice failed to answer whether London receives information extracted under torture by a third country.
