what's the legal position regarding those pilots involved in rendition flights?
It will depend on what they knew. My suspicion is the aircrew new very little. Move chap x from A to B.
Mr Noritake also said:
A significant number of you have defended the use of these techniques. Does this mean you now understand why we used them, that we may consider ourselves absolved from any sense of guilt associated with their use and that they will henceforth be considered acceptable forms of prisoner interrogation?
No. It;s just as wrong and ineffective for them as for anyone else.
If they're OK for you, they're OK for everyone else. And if they're OK for military prisoner interrogation, perhaps they're OK for certain forms of civil prisoner interrogation too?
Again, it's not ok for anyone because it's both morally bankrupt and ineffective. There is no upside to the use of torture.
