Rendition Flights and Portugal

No link to this as it’s just a vague translation of a piece in a Portuguese newspaper relayed to me last night over a beer.

The EU asked the Portuguese government about any of the CIA rendition flights that may have landed in the country. Then they insisted on getting such information.

The reponse was along the lines of "We have our own Parliament here thank you, go away."

Don’t know how true that all is, just thought I’d relay it.

One response

  1. Hmm, Tim, would you rather the EU or the portugese guarantee you rights?
    Suppose the yanks want to extraorinarily render you to some hell hole where nobody is going to ask why a prison needs so many pairs of pliers or crocadile clips. In that unlikely circumstance, would you really rather your fate be left to the portugese/Blair or the EU?
    I know you dont like The Project, so I just thought I would ask.
