According to The Times in London, the Metropolitan police, in the Enfield area of north London, have been waterboarding criminal suspects.
According to The Times:
The torture claims are part of a wide-ranging investigation which also includes accusations that officers fabricated evidence and stole suspects’ property. It has already led to the abandonment of a drug trial and the suspension of several police officers.
Apparently, the prosecution of the drug case had to be abandoned because the authorities decided that it would have compromised their own investigation into police corruption and torture.
Will anything come of this? Will the British officers get the same treatment as the Texas sheriff back in 1983, or will the Crown decide to look forward, not back?
