Tony Blair and Rendition

Guardian: Has an exclusive report that a Libyan Islamist and his family were sent to Gaddafi’s Libya and faced torture conditions under a MI6 rendition operation, the operation happened before a visit by Tony Blair to Libya. One does have to wonder who in the UK Labour Government gave the green light for sending a family in to a torture environment, the article notes that the operation followed approval at Minister level. Thus a few Labour Ministers might face some very tough questions, it has to be asked did former PM Tony Blair have any knowledge of such operations, at least someone at Secretary of State level must have given the green light.
