European MPs adopt damning report on secret CIA flights
2007-02-14
The European parliament has approved a damning report that criticised member states for turning a "blind eye" to alleged secret CIA flights used to transport terror suspects.

In approving the report Wednesday, which implicates 13 current EU member states including Britain, Germany and Sweden, the parliament also called for yet another an "independent inquiry" to be considered.
And if that inquiry turns up nothing there will be a call for another, and then another ...
The eurodeputies regretted "that European countries have been relinquishing their control over their airspace and airports by turning a blind eye or admitting flights operated by the CIA."

The deputies also urged the EU 27 to "put pressure on all the governments concerned to tell us what we want to hear give full and true information to the Council (of member states) and the (European) Commission and where necessary to start more loud hearings and commission an independent investigation to tell us what we want to hear without delay".

Tell you what. Instead of rendition, how 'bout we simply render them?

#3  The Europeans have been relinquishing control over their ground space for the past 25 years, so why are they all of a sudden oh-so-sensitive about their AIR space?
