Condoleezza Rice flies into row over 'rendition'

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1657735,00.html

The British government is guilty of breaking international law if it allowed secret CIA "rendition" flights of terror suspects to land at UK airports, according to a report by American legal scholars.
Merely giving permission for the flights to refuel while en route to the Middle East to collect a prisoner would constitute a breach of the law, according to the opinion commissioned by an all-party group of MPs, which meets in parliament for the first time today.

Ms Rice has promised to clarify the issue. Yesterday, however, US officials made it clear she was likely to respond robustly to any questioning from European leaders.

The all-party parliamentary group on extraordinary rendition, with representatives from the three main parties, was formed after the Guardian reported in September that aircraft operated by the CIA had flown in and out of civilian airports and RAF bases in the UK at least 210 times since September 11 2001.

Andrew Tyrie, the Tory MP and chairman of the parliamentary group, said: "By apparently assisting the US in the practice of extraordinary rendition, the UK and the west are losing the moral high ground so valuable to foreign policy since the end of the cold war."

Condi, It will take more than shoes to walk out of this one.

:blush:

The LIES are costing the US its place as the moral leader of the world.

Such a shame.

- Condi gives voice to the BushCo Propaganda Point of the Day

She's as big a moron as Bush, truly vapid and uninformed. She learned her lines well, shilled well, and now she's Madam Secretary.

Let her talk. She's got about......3 years go to.

Or 10 months, depending on what happens next November. Either way, she and her lies will be gone. The sooner the better.

She'll drop like rock as soon as Bush is out of office. She has no credentials for the work she's doing. She's a latter day cold warrior who was still fighting state sponsored terrorism in 2001, in spite of all the Clintonestas telling her about AQ.
