Not All Bad.

It's a wretched situation but I found it heartening that the panellists on Question Time today- from Ken Livingstone on the left to Jacob Rees-Mogg on the right- were unanimous in condemning the CIA's use of torture and in calling for the redacted material in the Senate report to be restored and any British person who is implicated- from political bosses to MI6 operatives- to be named and prosecuted.

We should do the same for the Americans, too.

It's unlikely to happen in either country. The powerful look after their own.

What - prosecute the torturers? That's crazy talk.

Yes, it is. I don't believe it'll happen.
