"The laws of England are the birthright of the people thereof; and all the kings and queens, who shall ascend the throne of this realm, ought to administer the government of the same according to the said laws; and all their officers and ministers ought to serve them respectively, according to the same."
Act of Settlement, 1700/01
"And I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any
jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm."

Torture of anyone - not in our name
The Guardian has the entire lot on it's website.
After detailing some of the distasteful things that a man was apparently subjected to, the seven paragraphs end with the sentence: "...it could readily be contended to be at the very least cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment..."
And that's only the very last part of what David Miliband and this New Labour Government didn't want us all to know about.
This blogger doesn't give a damn who anyone is and/or what anyone may or may not have done.
You do not go around torturing anyone.
Not for any reason. Not in our name.
UPDATE: According to The Guardian, amongst others, the plot definitely thickens.
