The Dirty Business

Torture is a multinational industry - but its headquarters is in the USA. In this programme Andrew Gilligan examines the CIA's practice of abducting terrorist suspects and transferring them to states such as Egypt and Syria, where torture is routine. The programme also exposes the British government's refusal to condemn the use of torture by the government of Uzbekistan, for the sake of the 'evidence' it produces: 'selling our souls for dross', in the words of the former British ambassador
