Raw Story

The CIA
relied on intelligence based on torture in prisons in Uzbekistan, a place
where widespread torture practices include raping suspects with broken
bottles and boiling them alive,
says a former British ambassador to the central Asian country.
Craig Murray,
the rector of the University of Dundee in Scotland and until 2004 the
UK’s ambassador to Uzbekistan, said the CIA not only relied on confessions
gleaned through extreme torture, it sent terror
war suspects to Uzbekistan as part of its extraordinary rendition program.
“I’m
talking of people being raped with broken bottles,” he said at a
lecture late last month that was re-broadcast by the Real News Network.
“I’m talking of people having their
children tortured in front of them until they sign a confession. I’m
talking of people being boiled alive. And the intelligence from these
torture sessions was being received by the CIA, and was being passed on.”
Human rights
groups have long been raising the alarm about the legal system in Uzbekistan.
In 2007, Human Rights Watch declared that torture is “endemic”
to the country’s justice system.
Murray said
he only realized after his stint as ambassador that the CIA was sending
people to be tortured in Uzbekistan, country he describes as a “totalitarian”
state that has never moved on from its communist era, when it was a part
of the Soviet Union.
Suspects
in Uzbekistan’s gulags “were being told to confess to membership
in Al Qaeda. They were told to confess they’d been in training camps
in Afghanistan. They were told to confess they had met Osama bin Laden
in person. And the CIA intelligence constantly echoed these themes.”
"...
I WAS ABSOLUTELEY STUNNED - GENUINELY STUNNED - IT CHANGED MY WHOLE WORLD
VIEW IN AN INSTANT - ER TO BE TOLD THAT - LONDON KNEW IT WAS COMING FROM
TORTURE, - THAT IT WAS NOT ILLEGAL - BECAUSE OUR LEGAL ADVISORS HAD DECIDED
THAT UNDER THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE, IT IS NOT ILLEGAL
TO OBTAIN OR USE INTELLIGENCE GAINED FROM TORTURE AS LONG AS WE DIDN'T
DO THE TORTURE OURSELVES," - MURRAY SAID.
..."
UK/USA
made use of Uzbek torture
Murray asserts
that the primary motivation for US and British military involvement in
central Asia has to do with large natural gas deposits in Turkmenistan
and Uzbekistan. As evidence, he points to the plans to build a natural
gas pipeline through Afghanistan that would allow Western oil companies
to avoid Russia and Iran when transporting natural gas out of the region.
Murray alleged
that in the late 1990s the Uzbek ambassador to the US met with then-Texas
Governor George W. Bush to discuss a pipeline for the region, and out
of that meeting came agreements that would see Texas-based Enron gain
the rights to Uzbekistan’s natural gas deposits, while oil company
Unocal worked on developing the Trans-Afghanistan pipeline.
“The
consultant who was organizing this for Unocal was a certain Mr. Karzai,
who is now president of Afghanistan,” Murray noted. [TVOTW

Murray
said part of the motive in hyping up the threat of Islamic terrorism in
Uzbekistan through forced confessions was to ensure the country remained
on-side in the war on terror, so that the pipeline could be built.
“There
are designs of this pipeline, and if you look at the deployment of US
forces in Afghanistan, as against other NATO country forces in Afghanistan,
you’ll see that undoubtedly the US forces are positioned to guard
the pipeline route. It’s what it’s
about. It’s about money, it’s about oil, it’s not about
democracy.”
The Trans-Afghanistan
Pipeline is slated to be completed in 2014, with $7.6 billion in funding
from the Asian Development Bank.
Murray
was dismissed from his position as ambassador in 2004, following his first
public allegations that the British government relied on torture in Uzbekistan
for intelligence.
