Europe: European Council Report Claims U.S. Ousources Torture
More self-righteous miopia from the European Council: Report cites evidence that U.S. 'outsources' torture
A Swiss investigator for the Council of Europe issued an interim report Tuesday, concluding that there is evidence of a system of "outsourcing of torture" by the United States, although the review did not produce irrefutable proof of clandestine CIA prisons in Europe. The report, which relied heavily on previously published information that has already appeared in American and European newspapers, singled out other governments for their likely complicity. "It is highly unlikely that European governments, or at least their intelligence services, were unaware of the 'rendition' of more than a hundred persons," according to Dick Marty, the investigator whose report was made public Tuesday morning before a debate of the 46-nation Council of Europe in Strasbourg.
