EU's 'Torture ' Report a Farce

Dick Marty, the head of a European investigation in the U.S's "outsourcing of torture" said today that there is evidence that the U.S. used European countries to implement the system.

The interesting thing is how the investigation is being conducted:

His interim report, based partly on results of national investigations and recent press reports, did not break new ground and largely repeated his previous claims that U.S. policies in the war on terror contravene international law on human rights.

Yup. Nothing like reading the newspapers to do your research. Marty also said that

there was no tangible proof so far of the existence of clandestine centers in Romania or Poland as alleged by the New York-based Human Rights Watch.

He must have just thrown that part of his 'evidence' out.
