EU states criticised over CIA prisons response

A European Parliament committee criticised EU governments today for failing to address concern about CIA activities on European territory, and said allegations of CIA secret prisons and flights were now “beyond speculation".

“I am not at all reassured that there is sufficient determination by (member states) to get to the bottom of this and establish the truth,” said Sarah Ludford, a British Liberal Democratic member of the EU assembly’s civil liberties committee.
