No torture please, we're British. Well done, your lordships. You've got to ask how we ever got to the stage where this even needed to be said. As Dominic Grieve put it, this is "a completely correct restatement of a law that has existed for hundreds of years". I must stop agreeing with Tories but the man's quite right on this occassion. Safety's assertion that "this issue is hypothetical" might sound a little hollow if you know who Craig Murray is.
