Clegg: We may need a full judicial inquiry into Britain’s complicity in torture

From the Daily Telegraph:

The Deputy Prime Minister said he was absolutely sure that at the present time torture “cannot, will not and is not being used under any circumstances by British agencies or indeed on our behest”.

However an inquiry could still be needed if police and parliamentary probes fail to answer key questions, he said…

Mr Clegg said during his weekly LBC radio phone-in: “Once the police investigations are done, once the report from the Intelligence and Security Committee is done, we should keep an open mind if we need to about moving to a full judicial inquiry if there are any outstanding questions.

“I’m like anybody else: I want the truth out there.”
