UK Ambassador Craig Murray: “People raped with broken bottles, children tortured, people boiled alive.”

Ambassador Craig Murray, rector of the University of Dundee, was until 2004 the British Ambassador to Uzbekistan, which he describes as a Stalinist totalitarian state courted and supported by the Americans.

As ambassador, Murray saw the MI5 intelligence reports from the CIA that described the most horrible torture procedures.  “People were raped with broken bottles, children were tortured in front of their parents until they [the parents] signed a confession, people were boiled alive.”

Amb. Murray reports that the people delivered by CIA flights to Uzbekistan’s torture prisons “were told to confess to membership in Al Qaeda, … they’d been in training camps in Afghanistan, … they had met Osama bin Laden in person. And the CIA intelligence constantly echoed these themes.”

Murray also saw the documents that proved that the motivation for US and UK military aggression in Afghanistan had to do with the natural gas deposits in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.  The Americans wanted a pipeline that bypassed Russia and Iran and went through Afghanistan.  To insure this, an invasion was necessary.  The idiot American public could be told that the invasion was necessary because of 9/11 and to save them from “terrorism,” and the utter fools would believe the lie.

“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 energy, it’s not about democracy.”

And guess who the consultant was who arranged with then Texas governor George W. Bush the agreements that would give Enron the rights to Uzbekistan’s and Turkmenistan’s natural gas deposits, and to Unocal to develop the trans-Afghanistan pipeline?  It was Karzai, the US-imposed “president” of Afghanistan, who has no support in the country except for American bayonets.

“I was absolutely stunned,” says the British ambassador, who thought that he served a moral country that, along with its American ally, had moral integrity. Ambassador Murray learned too much and was fired when he vomited it all up.  Murray was dismissed from the UK Foreign Service for his revelations.  No doubt on orders from Washington.
