Ursine Sylvan Defecation Shock

The House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee has noticed that the United States occasionally resorts to enhanced interrogation techniques and that the Bush administration sometimes practises economy with the truth if not with the US economy. The Committee has apparently noticed this "in the light of the CIA admitting it used 'waterboarding'"; in other words, now that the US has admitted the use of torture it is safe for the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee to believe it. The Committee is concerned because "the UK has signed the UN convention which bars sending individuals to nations where they are at risk of being tortured" and, despite the reassurances of Agent Smith and Colonel Gadafi, the Committee seems to think we might be approaching the possibility of not being absolutely adhesive to a strict interpretation of the letter of the convention. This would never do, of course.
