Gordon Brown expressed disappointment that two secret rendition flights passed through UK territory.
The United States said a check of its records shows that two planes carrying one terror suspect each stopped to refuel at a base on the British island of Diego Garcia in 2002.
Mr Brown has promised safeguards will ensure it won't happen again, but it's highly embarrassing for the government and for Anglo-American relations.
