Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Others are transported from Afghanistan to secret prisons under American control - in Eastern Europe countries like Poland, Romania, Hungary and in Asia, the military base at Diego Garcia.
Diego Garcia is a British Possession. If I am not mistaken, at some point the US decided if would make a fine base as it is in the  middle of the Indian Ocean within reach of the Indian subcontinent and Arabia. So, the UK dutifully deported the entire population of Diego Garcia to Mauritius (I think it was Mauritius). Now it turns out the US is torturing there? Hmmm.

A Member of the European Parliament should ask Jack Straw about this during the debate on Wednesday on Iraq and Iran... The EU Commission is supposed to release a statement about the secret prisons Monday as well...

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
