While they are at it, maybe the UK would like to investigate why a British citizen was in Afghanistan fighting with the Taliban. Maybe they would like to investigate the money raised for for Hamas and Hezbollah by British Mosques. Maybe they would like to investigate the treatment of women and non-Muslims by the Taliban. Maybe they would like to investigate how the Taliban is getting its funds to build their terrorist infrastructure.
Just some thoughts on priorities
Even if all your suggestions were meritorious, torture is still morally wrong and a violation of international law. Nothing justifies torture. Nothing.
I disagree with you but take your point and see your position.
The Brits have lost 15 soldiers in Afghanistan over the past few days. I wonder if it will affect public opinion?
Yes! Britain the humane country. All you have to do is look at their record in India, Egypt, and Palestine. You can definitely trust them to be honest and fair minded!
At least they're not stuck on "looking forward, not backwards.
It would sure be nice to get a real investigation and a real conviction
Britain is expert at running -- aka 'fixing' -- Public Inquiries. Take these examples - Bl00dy Sunday. Jean Charles de Menezes. The Iraq Sexed-up 'Dodgy Dossier'. David Kelly. On and on and on.
They spend millions. But they are wise enough to pick a tame st00ge to a) chair it and b) write up the reports. Result? ZERO surprises, of course.
