Ex-UK Intel Chief: US Misled Allies on Treatment of Prisoners
-------------------------------------------------------------



The former head of Britain’s domestic intelligence agency is accusing
the US of misleading allies on the torture of foreign prisoners. On
Tuesday, Eliza Manningham-Buller said the Bush administration
deliberately hid details of its treatment of prisoners including alleged
9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Manningham-Buller said, “The
Americans were very keen that people like us did not discover what they
were doing.”
