Rice to claim Euro backing for CIA prisons

By Alec Russell in Washington and Kate Connolly in Berlin

Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, will vigorously defend America’s fight against terrorism when she arrives in Europe today amid uproar over reports of terrorist suspects being held in secret CIA prisons.

In the most heated transatlantic row in a year, European politicians and the media have expressed outrage over claims that the suspects are in custody in so-called “black sites” in eastern Europe.</i>

Wasn’t it only a week or so ago that these people were busy denying that these secret prisons even existed? Does it bother you that our government considers its citizens too stupid to notice this?
