Ireland to pursue US over alleged CIA prisoner flights *wink* *wink*

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Thursday December 01, 2005 10:48author by anon Report this post to the editors

Prepare for more European faux outrage!

Irish Foreign Minister Dermot Ahern will seek assurances from Washington that US planes using Shannon airport have not been carrying CIA terror suspects when he meets with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Thursday.

Germany, Ireland and Switzerland have joined nearly a dozen European countries that are probing US spy agency flights for prisoners reportedly subjected to extra-judicial detention and possibly torture.

"The Minister will seek assurances from Condoleezza Rice that Shannon was not used for the rendition of prisoners or anything of that nature," a spokesman for Mr Ahern said on Sunday.

yesterday it was reported that Jack Straw had !!quizzed!! the CIA over the allegations.
The UK heads the EU at the moment so on behalf of the EU it is indeed the UK's job _till december 31_ to do this. Then (aren't we all glad) the responsibility will pass to Italy.

However, the matter was not raised first as an EU one. And many of the "plaintiff" states are not EU members. The most interesting investigation / line of complaints comes from the Council of Europe. Though it overlaps with the EU it is not the same institution. For on thing its larger, and for the other it is the legal instrumental base for our common charters and commitments to human rights. The Swiss senator Dick Marty has the responsibility there.

& the matter doesn't end there, because several of the "plaintiff" countries have seen internal legal processes begun. The Spanish legal team still continue with their work, despite assurances from the central government that "nothing illegal has occured", that process can not be stopped by the executive, and the Canary islands have yet to finalise their "local government" case which they have brought themselves.

So The CIA aren't getting off so easily! LOL
In fact of course they are. They are coming out of this squeeky squeeky clean. I saw a cartoon last week sums it up, "investigate me if you can". All the same the satellite imagery from the European observation centre (based in spain) has been sub-poened by the council of Europe to verify allegations on the black sea coast placement of "prisons" and others no the Polish / Bylerussian frontier.

• Garry Trudeau has been getting some heat for his Doonesbury cartoon claiming the Bush supervised torture of his Frat Boy comrades in college:

'Was this past Sunday's "Doonesbury" -- which had George W. Bush defending the burning of Yale University fraternity initiates with a brand in 1967 -- fact or fiction?

"Totally fact-based," replied Garry Trudeau...'
