More Propaganda…
Tonight we visited the cental Asian hellhole of Uzbekistan, a. absolute dictatorship of brutal methods. Thousands of Uzbeks are locked up as dissidents each year; most are tortured, many are killed. The rational for this is that Uzbekistan must protect itself against the threat of Muslim terrorists.
The whistle blower on this was the British ambassador there Craig Murray. One night during his placement he met with one of the countries critics, an Academic. Several hours after they had met the Academics grandson was deliver to his house. The boy’s legs and arms were broken. His right hand had been boiled and a blow to the head had killed him.
Despite this when Murray went public with the story his own government turned against him, sacked him and spread rumours about his conduct.
And why does the west do nothing? Because Britain and America use intelligence that the Uzbeks collect under torture. America also has an air base in the strategically useful south of the country near Afghanistan and a comfortable flight from Russia and Iran. And it seems that America may be shipping in suspects from elsewhere for the Uzbeks to torture for them.
To use intelligence acquired by torture sullies a nation.
For shame Britain. For shame US.
