CIA Ran Secret Prisons for Detainees in Europe, Says Inquiry

This was only possible because of “collaboration at various institutional levels of America’s many partner countries”.
But Mr Marty concluded: “All the members and partners of NATO signed up to the same permissive - not to say illegal - terms that allowed CIA operations to permeate throughout the European continent and beyond …” There was no immediate comment from Nato....

Canadian forces are operating in Afghanistan under a NATO mandate - NOT a a UN mandate and NOT as peacekeepers. Our country is part of this.


The Bush/Cheney collection of thugs and dead enders "believe" something is true simply because they say it.
There could not be a clearer picture of manipulative, psychopaths devoid of the essence that makes us human and humane - empathy.

Sadly, our country - Canada - is now following this criminal, devoid of ethics gang right off a cliff.
