    Six Met officers accused of torturing drug suspects | Politics | guardian.co.uk

    Six Metropolitan police officers are accused of using a form of waterboarding in a drug-smuggling case in the UK,
    interestingly the IPPC have suspended the officers whilst investigating the allegations.

    They must not have read the ongoing discussions in the US regarding torture techniques when they took these alleged actions,
    the drug trial has collapsed.

    Wow, that is actually incredible. It is an astonishing to see how such treatment can be so easily dished out by people we assume to be of sound mind. It's why I and many others will never trust the power wielded by those in authority.
