According to The Recond on 3/10/10, the former head of the British spy agency-MI5-said that "US intelligence agencies mislead key allies...about its mistreatment of suspected terrorists...". Eliza Manningham-Buller retired in 2007 and is now in the House of Lords said "...the US deliberately suppressed details of its harsh handling of some detainees, including accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed". This news item-of two paragraphs-appeared on page A-11 on an inside column. It seems the press was trying to hide the story. It is safe to say that our enemies don't trust us; now it seems are friends may have reason not to either.
(Source "British official says US misled allies". Around the World section. The Record 3/10/10).
PS. Would it be truthful to replace "misled" with "lied"?
