Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Records of Detention (Review Conclusions).
Records of Detention (Review Conclusions)
Does my right hon. Friend agree that those who caused the awful deaths of our soldiers, which increased by four this week, do not differentiate between various Ferengi? We are all in the same group of alien invaders to their country. One group—America, under Bush—was certainly responsible for torture, with water-boarding and other methods, and that deep sense of grievance is the recruiting sergeant for the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Should not we in this country embark on a new policy? That is happening in America, which is turning its back on the previous policy of Bush and seeking a new peace strategy that will be based on talks with the enemy. Is it not time that we also embarked on a peace strategy?
