In an article on the British post WWII torture camps the Guardian writes
A few were starved or beaten to death, while British soldiers are alleged to have tortured some victims with thumb screws and shin screws recovered from a gestapo prison.
This is followed by a quote from Nick Harvey (Liberal Democrats defence spokesman)
It’s too late for anyone to be held personally responsible, or held politically to account, but it’s not too late for the MoD to acknowledge what has happened.
What???
Would this sentiment be equally applicable to the guards in Nazi concentration camps? So its OK now for these remaining guards to step forward and not expect to be punished for what they did?
What Mr Harvey needs to learn is that torture can never be legitimised by nationality!
