And yet another report and confirmation:

Report claims US ran secret prisons in Europe

Fred Attewill and agencies
Friday June 8, 2007
Guardian Unlimited


The CIA ran secret prisons in Poland and Romania from 2003 to 2005 where terrorism suspects could be interrogated free of US legal restraints, a Council of Europe investigation concluded today.

It revealed that Abu Zubaydah, believed to be a senior al-Qaida member, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, a suspected mastermind of the September 11 attacks, were held and interrogated in Poland.

None of the prisoners had access to the Red Cross and many were subjected to what George Bush has called the CIA's "enhanced" interrogation, which critics have condemned as torture....

...The report said that within weeks of the 9/11 attacks, Nato signed an agreement with the US that allowed civilian jets used by the CIA during its so-called extraordinary rendition programme to move across member states' airspace.

D*ick Marty, a Swiss senator who ran the investigation, said in his report that the "the highest state authorities were aware of the CIA's illegal activities on their territories...."

OK, I submit to your argument Henry_Powell, the EU has indeed got the same set of values as the USA. The European Court of Human rights is a total facade, as is the British media right now, notably The Daily Mail. which is currently running an on going newsline about the UK being involved in secretly allowing the CIA to use civilian and military airfields for their 'flights of rendition'.

I don't know quite why they are bothering with this news item as we would only, as UK citizens, thoroughly endorse such actions by the CIA.
Yes Henry_Powell, we Europeans don't actually mind Guantanomo, are constant extremely negative comments about it, especially in relation to imprisonment without trial is, again, a total red herring. We also, over in E.U land, think it is perfectly acceptable to use capital punishment, including when the giulty person was a minor at the time of the offence. Yes Henry_Powell, we do actually fully endorse Dubya's view of the world, as do most Americans, who, after all, voted for him.

Once again (for the slow-witted): Please show me where I said this. I did not. I have simply been pointing out the error in your original statement, in which you said that a Guantanamo-like situation would never happen in Europe.

Flustered, you decide to put words in my mouth rather than take responsibility for your own words.

I am not flustered Henry_Cowell, I am just acdeding to your point that I was wrong in thinking that the E.U would ALLOW something like Guantanomo Bay to exist with the E.U. I stand corrected, you have proven that we would indeed allow something like that to be put into operation. I was trying to show that there was a clear difference in what the E.U would regard as lawful, ethically and morally acceptable and what the Bush administration finds acceptable. You have very cleverly shown us to be infact all the same. Yes, you are correct, we in the E.U really should follow the excellent example set by the Bush administration. And as a voting body, we would no doubt have voted for Dubya as our elected leader as well. Yes, we do believe here in imprisonment without trial, even if it is 5 years without a trial. I won't bother your vast intellect with my ignorant, un-informed views again.

Still flustered I see. Please show me exactly where I described the EU as doing these things. Please. You cannot.

In my original post, I stated, ignorantly in your view Henry_cowell, that Guantanomo Bay would not be allowed to happen within the E.U You have then gone to some considerable lengths to say that something similar to Guantanomo Bay has indeed been allowed within the E.U. Now you ask me to show you exactly where you have not said the E.U allows such things. I take it you are a complete wind-up merchant, and a 'chav' to boot. Cheery Bye n*m*s*u*l

Can you show me that? Or were those your own words attributed to me?

Here is an idea!! Don't ask every America why people voted for Bush!! It gets old after a while. I have been living in Germany and I get tired of explaining to every other person why some people vote for Bush.


I once had a guy from North Korea follow me around Daegu preaching about how Bush was evil and was responsible for the pain and suffering of many. Eventually, after trying to argue that not all of us voted for the *beep* and that I didn't agree with his politics, I just gave up and said I was Canadian.
