I have just sent the following email to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights, prompted by Craig Murray's blog post today:
I would like to urge the Honourable members of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights to accept evidence from Craig Murray, the former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan, on the matter of government knowledge of (and potential complicity in) rendition and torture of prisoners, and in usage of intelligence so obtained.

For public trust in the processes of government and parliament to be maintained, there can be no question of expert evidence on so important a matter being ignored or suppressed; it is vital that all available data be examined and considered by your committee, with full public disclosure. Any pressure from the government to prevent this, even where it misrepresents its own potential embarrassment as a threat to national security, must be resisted.
I would urge anybody reading this to do the same (in your own words :) - as Craig writes, even a one-liner will do.

ETA: I included my full postal address; you may want to do the same to allow your name to be verified against the electoral register.
