Craig Murray, Is it any worse to torture someone yourself than to allow them to be tortured by another person/country?

No. I think certainly if you had the power to stop it you should stop it. If you are encouraging the torture by another country, as I would argue the United Kingdom was in Uzbekistan for example, by being a regular and reliable customer for the intelligence it produced, then I would think you are morally just as culpable.
If it is going ahead without your encouragement, I would argue you have a duty to try to stop it.
