Eliza Manningham-Buller, who retired in 2007 as a UK spy-chief, publicly said that the US had misled its allies about what they had been doing to the detainees. I can't help wondering while I was reading that, at how "good" this "Chief" must have been to keep confidences. Apart from the fact that her comments are a bit late anyway to hit the mark.
Eliza Manningham-Buller, who retired in 2007 and is now a member of the House of Lords, said the U.S. deliberately suppressed details of its harsh handling of some detainees, including accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

"The Americans were very keen that people like us did not discover what they were doing," Manningham-Buller told a meeting at Britain's Parliament.

Britain's spy agencies have come under heavy criticism for their alleged collusion in the torture overseas of terrorist suspects, including detainees held in U.S. custody.
