Report Traces US/EU Covert Rendition Network
by Jim Lobe
A long-awaited report [.pdf] by the Council of Europe on European complicity in "extraordinary renditions" secretly carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) against suspected terrorists was hailed here Wednesday by human rights groups, even as the U.S. State Department tried to cast doubt on its findings.
"Amnesty International applauds today's Council of Europe report that makes clear that the United States has woven a renditions 'spider web' outside the rule of law that includes, 'disappearances,' arbitrary detentions, illegal transfers, and torture or other ill-treatment," said Larry Cox, director of Amnesty's U.S. chapter.
