* Government gave 'tacit approval'
* FBI agent says officers looked to Jack Bauer for ideas on interrogation methods

My Comment: Was Britain aware that torture was being used on Al Qaeda suspects by Pakistani intelligence officers .... probably .... but having a good idea on what the Pakistanis were doing is different from giving the Pakistanis tacit approval for torture to proceed. What is my take .... the Pakistanis never listen to anyone .... the idea that they would need approval from Britain to torture their own terror suspects does not ring true.
