“Tony Blair has appeared to wash his hands of the extraordinary rendition scandal, claiming he was not aware of Britain’s involvement under his watch as Prime Minister. The former premier was yesterday accused of ‘evasiveness’ and failing to ask ‘awkward questions’ when he was in Downing Street about the UK’s role in the rendition of two terror suspects in 2004.”
