The committee also recommended a <A title="ban" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/6915652.stm">ban</A> on cooperation that could lead to secret detention, which it said “is of itself mistreatment.”

</p> <P>
The cross-party committee said “routine” evidence sharing in the case of two British residents in Ghana in 2002 “indirectly and inadvertently” led to their rendition.
</p> <P>
Bisher al-Rawi and Jamil el-Banna were flown by the CIA first to Afghanistan and then Guantanamo Bay, where el-Banna is still being held.
</p> <P>
The committee said the UK services “used caveats specifically prohibiting any action being taken” when they handed over the intelligence on the men.
</p> <P>
It says the UK security services did not foresee that the US authorities would disregard the caveats, given that they had honoured the caveat system for the past 20 years.
