Former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan speaks of the shocking torture and the knowingly false intelligence produced in the so called "War on Terror".
Craig Murray, once privileged career diplomat and ambassador now author of:
Murder in Samarkand - A British Ambassador's Controversial Defiance of Tyranny in the War on Terror. (see the review on Green Left weekly)
Murray tells of his experiences with the Uzbek dictatorship (our allies in the, gulp, "War on Terror") one tributary in the flood of false intelligence about "Al Qaeda" and the fanciful "global terror conspiracy" US and UK leaders are so fond of talking about.
The attached 25min recording of Craig Murray's speech on Torture and The "War on Terror" was recorded by the London Sound Posse at the Reclaim our Rights Conference, held on 6th December 2006 in London which was organised by CAMPACC (Campaign Against Criminalising Communities).
There is more from the London Sound Posse available on the a-Infos Radio Project site.
