No wonder Europe was so quick to accept Condi's reassurances

(from the u.k. telegraph|news via raw story...)

it's a bizarre and very cold comfort to know that the european governments are just as quick to bullshit and lie as the u.s...

The European Union secretly allowed the United States to use transit facilities on European soil to transport "criminals" in 2003, according to a previously unpublished document. The revelation contradicts repeated EU denials that it knew of "rendition" flights by the CIA.

The EU agreed to give America access to facilities - presumably airports - in confidential talks in Athens during which the war on terror was discussed, the original minutes show. But all references to the agreement were deleted from the record before it was published.

well, well, well... whaddaya know...

The minutes of the Athens meeting on January 22, 2003, were written by the then Greek presidency of the EU after the talks with a US delegation headed by a justice department official. EU officials confirmed that a full account was circulated to all member governments, and would have been sent to the Home Office.

eventually, all the lies will come out...
