UK Admits Sending 2 Prisoners to US
-----------------------------------



The British government has retracted previous denials of involvement in
the US program of kidnapping and transferring suspects to foreign jails.
On Thursday, British Defense Minister John Hutton said Britain has
previously handed the US two prisoners captured in Iraq. The prisoners
were then sent to Afghanistan, where they remain after more than four
years.
