Dreary atoll
The UK government is facing renewed pressure to make a full disclosure
of its involvement in the CIA's post-9/11 kidnap and torture program after
another leading Bush-era U.S. official said suspects were held and interrogated
on the British territory of Diego Garcia.
Lawrence Wilkerson, who was chief of staff to Colin Powell at the
U.S. State Department, said the Indian Ocean atoll was used by the CIA as
"a transit site where people were temporarily housed, let us say, and
interrogated from time to time".
In an interview with Vice News, Wilkerson said three U.S. intelligence
sources had informed him that the CIA used Diego Garcia for what he described
as "nefarious activities".
