ad nauseum.. that's what i was thinking about Dubya. For me, threads like this are a sign that at least some people haven't rolled over and turned to another channel. while he's still there, its good to have these reminder threads. and btw..

The United States was accused of "gangster tactics" yesterday, and European governments were accused of turning a blind eye to the "outsourcing of torture", as a human rights watchdog concluded that the CIA conducted illegal anti-terror activities in Europe. Dick Marty, a Swiss parliamentarian conducting a formal inquiry, said evidence pointed to a system of "relocation" of torture of terror suspects, and that reliable indications suggested secret interrogation centres may have existed in Europe.

Mr Marty said he was "scandalised that a few kilometres from where I live people can be lifted by foreign governments. When someone goes on holiday in Macedonia they are lifted by foreign agents." He added: "If a government has to resort to gangster tactics - I say 'no'."
