"Rendition is a vital tool in combating transnational terrorism"

condi is speaking live on cnni prior to her departure for europe to tell 'em to back off their outrage about u.s. torture, rendition, and secret prisons...

"Renditions save lives. [...] The United States has respected and will continue to respect the sovereignty of other countries. [...] The United States does not and will not use the airports of any countries to transport prisoners to other countries for the purpose of interrogation using torture methods. [...] The United States government does not authorize or condone the use of torture."

blah, blah, blah... it's one more instance of "who are you going to believe...? me or your lying eyes...?"

ok... ready for the BIG CAVEAT...?

But in remarks delivered as she got ready to leave on a trip to Europe, she steadfastly refused to answer the underlying question of whether the United States had CIA-operated secret prisons there.

"We cannot discuss information that would compromise the success of intelligence, law enforcement, and military operations. We expect other nations share this view," Rice said in a statement at suburban Andrews Air Force Base, Md.

~scratches chin~ oh... well, then...
