Torture Whitewash ?

Guardian: Has a very tough article on the new torture Inquiry, the Guardian notes the following, “ .. government officials made clear, that most of the evidence to the inquiry will be heard in private, and as a non-statutory inquiry, its powers will be limited. ” Also the Inquiry will not have access to CIA officials or even to then Labour PM Tony Blair, in other words folks it can be argued from the left that this is a Whitewash, but the difference is that in this case its good to have a whitewash, the PR will be good, the alleged victims will receive a payout for their suffering and the UK can follow its tradition policy of letting sleeping dogs lie. The truth is never pretty and in the cases after 9/11 the Labour Government had no choice but to act like Jack Bauer from the 24 series. In that time the Western Governments and people thought that there would be another attack, that the attack could even have been from weapons of mass destruction, but due to the polices of the Bush/Blair Governments there was not another 9/11. Thus lets wash those walls white folks.
