Bush's World: The rewards of helping Bush and Cheney

It's entirely possible that some European governmental officials will wind up in deep legal trouble over the Bush administration's torture practices before American officials do. This is not something for Americans to be proud of. EU Investigator Says US Exported Torture Via Europe Deutsche Welle 01/24/06:

Dick Marty, a Swiss member of the European Parliament and the chief investigator in the EU probe into alleged US abductions of prisoners and their illegal detention in secret CIA camps in Europe, said Tuesday that it was "highly unlikely" that European governments were unaware of CIA activities on their soil.

There was "a great deal of coherent, convergent evidence pointing to the existence of a system of relocation or outsourcing of torture", Dick Marty said in an interim assessment presented to the 46-nation Council of Europe human rights watchdog in Strasbourg.

Defend the bad against the worse."
