US court allows lawsuit by American victims of Mr. Bush's torture programme advance. Two undercover FBI agents, both known to be FBI undercover agents investigating corruption by US contractors, were held and tortured for months.

Perhaps there's enough FBI pressure on this one to counterbalance some of the political weight of the American torture establishment.
