CIA Wearing Out Welcome In Europe
The CIA's secret prisons have angered many Americans AND Europeans. Watchdog groups in Europe are calling for monitoring of the CIA when acting within their borders. Read to how the head of one of those groups describes George W. Bush's America.
(Guardian)The former British Labour MP was scathing about President Bush. "Why does the US need to keep people in secret prisons? I thought that was settled by Magna Carta. But King John is alive and well and running the USA.But don't look for W's government to follow ANY rules
"There is a smoking gun. We know where it is - it is in the hands of George Bush. His fingerprints are on the gun."
Mr Davis's remarks came as the man leading the Council of Europe's investigation into the secret CIA prisons dismissed Mr Bush's admission as "just one piece of the truth". In an attempt to step up pressure on the US and European governments to come clean on the prisons, the Swiss senator Dick Marty said: "There is more, much more, to be revealed."
the administration also said yesterday it had no intention of satisfying European demands for fuller disclosure about the location of the secret prisons. "If the European countries want to continue to try to find out where the secret sites are, that is up to the Europeans," John Bellinger III, legal adviser to Ms Rice, told reporters.Maybe I was wrong, the missile defense system needs to be funded. Because one day when everyone wakes up and decides they've had enough, plastic and duct tape won't suffice!
