Under Duress
In a recent Economist article there was a discussion on whether or not the United Kingdoms foreign and home intelligence offices were using terror in order to extract information. The conclusion was no they did not use torture but they were privy to others, namely Americans using "at the very least cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment". But the over all impact of this was the release of these documents to the British public. By a court order it forced the hand of M16 to release documents containing torture information on Binyam Mohamed, a British born Ethiopian. This effects the strength of the judiciary the public policy, and the way the foreign culture views Briton as another country using torture.
