Yesterday a former defense minster Adam Ingram admitted to misleading MPs when he denied the illegal practice of hooding took place when British soldiers detained Iraqi's. The Independent says the evidence was revealed in a inquiry into the death of Baha Mousa, who died while being interrogated by British soldiers.
"Adam Ingram, the ex-armed forces minister, denied in a Parliamentary answer that UK forces hooded detainees as an interrogation technique despite seeing a document suggesting they did, a public inquiry in London heard."-Independent, the document mentioned refers to a memo that says Mousa was hooded for 24 hours.
The article by the newspaper reveals the contradictions in full, in an inquiry which has already shown the unlawful practices used in prisoner interrogation and detention in Iraq.
