We made mistakes in global hunt for terrorists, US admits (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,13509-1910583,00.html)
Dr Rice seemed taken aback by the forthright tone of the new Chancellor, who emphasised that German foreign policy should have a moral basis. More than 400 secret CIA flights were logged in German airspace in 2002-03, according to some reports, and the German press now regularly talks of “torture flights”. Hahahaha so much for the new Conservative World Order The President made his first comments on the dispute over secret CIA flights yesterday. He did not deny that the US engaged in rendition, but insisted: “We do not render to countries that torture. That is our policy and that policy will remain the same.”And yet the White House continue to press for the protection from prosecution of covert officers who use illegal interrogation methods. But they have to beat John McCain (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/07/politics/07mccain.html?adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1133946726-lLaxvXsSguKb42JKr1qsJQ&pagewanted=print) first... administration officials concede that Mr. McCain's provision, which would also require a uniform standard on how to interrogate detainees, stands a strong chance of becoming law, despite a White House threat to veto any legislation containing it. The measure has already passed the Senate, 90 to 9, and senior House Republican staff members say it would probably pass by a large margin in the House.
Faced with that reality, administration officials said, Mr. Hadley has now retreated to seeking narrower language that could make it harder to prosecute intelligence officers charged with violating torture standards. no, no, that's not going to work, you assholes, you can't get away with calling it something else, it's still torture and it's still fucking wrong. Deal with it!
