British MPs on Sunday have demanded an investigation into whether an army general and a defence minister misled them over the use of banned interrogation techniques in Iraq. The MPs were told by Adam Ingram, the armed forces minister in 2004 and Lt. Gen. Robin Brims in 2006 that torture techniques were not being used in Iraq, said a report published by parliament's Joint Committee on Human Rights. Andrew Dismore, the committee chairman, said: "On the ground, that wasn't what was happening in Iraq." The use of "conditioning" techniques such as hooding and stress positioning was exposed by the abuse and torture of Baha Mousa, an Iraqi hotel receptionist.
