Ahh! Euro-guilt on renditions, just as I suspected

The Guardian spills the beans on European participation in CIA renditions of alleged terrorists, as I suspected and blogged about early this spring.

Poland and Romania stand accused as most guilty, followed by Great Britain. However, it goes MUCH further than that.
(Dick) Marty says that far from being hoodwinked by a “CIA plot,” 14 European states were fully aware of much of what was going on.

That includes antiwar and alleged human rights stalwart Germany, and even, horror of horrors, pacific Sweden. In short, it’s pretty disgusting and dolloped with a fair bit of hypocrisy. Notably, though, France is NOT among the 14 charged countries.
