‘Entire continent’ linked to CIA’s torture flights

“THE entire continent is involved,” the man investigating whether Europe’s governments are facilitating the CIA in the kidnap and torture of terror suspects claimed in his first report yesterday.

Dick Marty, the Swiss senator and lawyer given the job by the Council of Europe, was highly critical that governments had not instigated formal investigations about the allegations which first arose over two years ago.

Europe has been affected by more than 100 kidnappings of terror suspects by CIA agents while hundreds of CIA-chartered flights have passed through European countries, he said.
