"Unless we all start to believe in conspiracy theories and that the officials are lying, that I am lying, that behind this there is some kind of secret state which is in league with some dark forces in the United States...
"There simply is no truth in the claims that the United Kingdom had been involved in rendition".
Jack Straw NOW confirms the existence of the UK "Secret State in League with Dark Forces in the United States" -
From Class Antagonism of a New World Order:
In 2005, Conservative MP Andrew Tyrie chaired the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Extraordinary Rendition.
In the 'Intelligence and Security Committee' debate of 18 March 2010, Andrew Tyrie states:
I made a number of specific allegations.
We now have this, published today:
UK intelligence officers knew of CIA's rendition plans within days of 9/11.
In secret memos, Labour ministers said in early 2002 that their "preferred option" was to render British nationals to Guantánamo Bay, Cobain records.

In the 'Intelligence and Security Committee' debate of 18 March 2010, Andrew Tyrie states:
I made a number of specific allegations.
The first was that the UK had facilitated or been complicit in rendition.
The second was that Diego Garcia was being used for that purpose.
The third was that the UK's armed forces might also be involved in rendition. It isworth recalling the blanket denials with which those points were met.
Jack Straw.
The then UK Foreign Secretary, Mr. Jack Straw, replied:

So, Straw claimed that the only way it was possible that the UK was involved in rendering whomever the UK-lackey's masters in the US was if "the officials are lying, I [he, Jack Straw] am lying" and that there exists a "secret state... in league with some dark forces in the United States."

A few weeks later, in early October 2001, at a secret meeting at Nato headquarters in Brussels, US officials drew up a list of "necessary measures to increase security", Cobain discloses. They included flights to and from secret prisons in Asia, Africa, and throughout Europe.
"Quietly, Britain pledged logistics support for the rendition programme, which resulted in the CIA's Gulfstream V and other jets becoming frequent visitors to British airports en route to the agency's secret prisons," writes Cobain...
In secret memos, Labour ministers said in early 2002 that their "preferred option" was to render British nationals to Guantánamo Bay, Cobain records.
MI5 and MI6 officers carried out around 100 interrogations at the US prison on Cuba between 2002 and 2004.
Yet for years ministers emphatically denied any British involvement in America's rendition programme...
Cobain's book, Cruel Britannia, says the British military operated a "torture centre" throughout the 1940s "in complete secrecy, in a row of Victorian villas in one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in London".
