Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | CIA's secret jails open up new transatlantic rift

British TV ran a fiction story, "Spooks" on our M16 stopping an American snatch squad escaping with an innocent man.

Now we see the reality.

It is going to be very interesting to see if we now have a Europe where foreigners are allowed to come in and steal away our citizens without let or hindrance if not the active connivance of our Governments.
At least Italy has started to arrest the American spies.

Bush said if we are not with him we are against him.
Well we are against him.
We don't want to be part of a barbaric wild west. We spent years or centuries building some kind of civilised society and we want to keep it.

It was the Americans under Carter who based foreign policy on Human Rights for the first time.

Under Bush we only have human wrongs.
