CBS News | CIA Flying Suspects To Torture? | March 6, 2005�23:38:02: "Craig Murray is the former British ambassador there. He told 60 Minutes that Uzbek citizens, captured in Afghanistan, were flown back to Taskent on the American plane.

'I know of two instances for certain of prisoners who were brought back in a small jet, and I believe it was happening on a reasonably regular basis,' says Murray.

Murray says the jet was operated by Premiere Executive Airlines.
He says in Uzbekistan, many prisoners are subject to torture techniques straight out of the Middle Ages: 'Techniques of drowning and suffocation, rape was used quite commonly, and also immersion of limbs in boiling liquid.'

Murray complained to his superiors that British intelligence was using information gleaned by torture. He was recalled by London four months ago and quit the foreign service.

Is there any reason to believe that the CIA knows that people are being tortured in these jails?

'The CIA definitely knows. I asked my deputy to go and speak to the CIA, and she came back and reported to me that she'd me with the CIA head of station, who told her that 'Yes, this material probably was obtained under torture, but the CIA didn't see that a problem.'' "
