And persons unnamed of the British parliament & security services, for facilitating renditions flights from the UK for such purposes. In fact, I suspect that the Libyans & Egyptians waiting on the tarmac for those flights to land did worse than water boarding.

Torture

I was reading the following article: Prince Nasser of Bahrain stripped of UK diplomatic immunity, sparking demands for fresh probe into torture allegations - Crime - UK - The Independent and it states:

Torture carried out by a public official anywhere in the world is an offence in Britain under the provisions of the 1988 Criminal Justice Act, making it possible to try allegations of maltreatment committed abroad in the English courts.

Does this mean that the UK should then bring a prosecution against persons unnamed of the US military and secret services for waterboarding?
