QuoteMetropolitan Police officers subjected suspects to waterboarding, according to allegations at the centre of a major anti-corruption inquiry, The Times has learnt.
The torture claims are part of a wide-ranging investigation which also includes accusations that officers fabricated evidence and stole suspects' property. It has already led to the abandonment of a drug trial and the suspension of several police officers.
However, senior policing officials are most alarmed by the claim that officers in Enfield, North London, used the controversial CIA interrogation technique to simulate drowning. Scotland Yard is appointing a new borough commander in Enfield in a move that is being seen as an attempt by Sir Paul Stephenson, the Met Commissioner, to enforce a regime of "intrusive supervision".
The waterboarding claims will fuel the debate about police conduct that has raged in the wake of hundreds of public complaints of brutality at the anti-G20 protests in April.
The part of the inquiry focusing on alleged police brutality has been taken over by the Independent Police Complaints Commission. It is examining the conduct of six officers connected to drug raids in November in which four men and a woman were arrested at addresses in Enfield and Tottenham. Police said they found a large amount of cannabis and the suspects were charged with importation of a Class C drug. The case was abandoned four months later when the Crown Prosecution Service said it would not have been in the public interest to proceed. It is understood that the trial, by revealing the torture claims, would have compromised the criminal investigation into the six officers.
None of the officers under suspicion has been arrested, but the IPCC said last night: "This is an ongoing criminal investigation and as such all six officers will be criminally interviewed under caution."
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Whilst the investigation is ongoing it is not appropriate to make assumptions. These are serious allegations that raise real concern. The Met does not tolerate conduct which falls below the standards that the public and the many outstanding Met officers and staff expect."

We'll have it here in the states by this time next year, at the outside.
But it'll be ok when we do it because we've used it on Navy SEALS before.
:mullet:
On an anti-corruption investigation? :x Corruption is small potatoes next to terrorism!
Mad Prophet... or secret conspirator?
Where do you think that get that water from?
RAIN!
Looks like the Daily Mail and Sun and the rest finally got what they were asking for.
Here's your war on crime, suckers. Its all fun and games until your little Johnny is put through simulated drowning by corrupt cops in order to make him confess to things he didn't do, right?
I spit on the inhabitants of this country.

reckless waste of saliva ITT
Fortunately, its renewable resource.
Though I should probably get cobra venom gland implants or something.
If your saliva was venom, you'd be just a tube of body glitter away from being Edward Cullen.
Except I'm not a virgin. Or a stalker. Though I do move with superhuman speed on occasion (usually out of girlfriend's windows when their parents return home unexpectedly)

When I read this, I was suddenly compelled to drive to the woods and live amongst the squirrels, learn their ways, and take a bride amongst them, so that I don't have to talk to anyone any more.
Also, because squirrels are hawt.
I'm pretty sure TGRR's unbroken streak when it comes to prophecies is somewhere in Revelations

Wrong, his prophecies are in the Book of Flatulations.

Do you think they will bring back drawing and quartering?
Let's see, what the options were..... hanging, breaking wheel, boiling to death, flaying, slow slicing, disembowelment, crucifixion, impalement, crushing (including crushing by elephant), stoning, execution by burning, dismemberment, sawing, decapitation, scaphism, or necklacing.
I am for impalement, on a huge lance bolted into the top of like the Sears Tower, right on the edge. That way if they aren't impaled, they'll fall to their death so there wouldn't be the added expense of taking them back up and trying again.....
Well that and elephant crushing..... which is self explanatory.... have to use circus elephants and allow them their revenge...
OR.... We could bring back an arena with a live video feed and get some lions or tigers.......
:evil:

Just take them up to 10000 feet and toss them out of an airplane with no parachute. If they survive, they go free. If they float, burn them at the stake for witchcraft.
