"...abducted and transferred to other countries without respect for any legal standards."

ok... it keeps trickling in... day after day... week after week... month after month... year after year...

Allegations that the CIA abducted and illegally transported terror suspects across European borders are credible, an investigator has said.

Swiss senator Dick Marty has submitted a report on the claims, made in the media, to a meeting of the human rights committee of the Council of Europe.

Mr Marty criticised the US for refusing to confirm or deny the allegations.

so, instead of confirming or denying, we get this...

The US government and its intelligence agencies say that all their operations are conducted within the law.

whose law...? and what kind of "operations" are we talking about...? hmmmmmmm...??

"The elements we have gathered so far tend to reinforce the credibility of the allegations concerning the transport and temporary detention of detainees - outside all judicial procedure - in European countries," he said.

He went on: "Legal proceedings in progress in certain countries seemed to indicate that individuals had been abducted and transferred to other countries without respect for any legal standards."

oh, THOSE laws... the ones written on the magic slate...
