Europe's role in terror abductions

The full extent of European collusion with the CIA during operations to abduct terrorism suspects and fly them to countries where they may be tortured is laid bare today by the continent's most authoritative human rights body.



The UK stands accused of not only allowing the use of British airspace and airports, but of providing information that was used during the torture of one suspect. The report adds that there is strong evidence to suspect two European states, Poland and Romania, of permitting the CIA to operate secret prisons on their soil, despite official denials.



I will reserve comment.

UPDATE:
In fact I'll go one better and give some other voices a go. Check out -

It's the official denials that always bother me the most about these things. Torture,rendition, et al. are bad enough - but to me, being dishonest about them makes it even worse. Hell if Bush, Blair, et al. think these are the tools they need to fight the war on terror, then be up front about it.

Less bullshit, less spin, less propaganda - that's what we need from our leaders.
