Guardian: "CIA prisoners in Europe were apparently abducted and moved between countries illegally, possibly with the aid of national secret services who did not tell their governments, according to the first official report on the so-called 'renditions' scandal.
The council has set its 46 members a three-month deadline to reveal what they know about the transfers. Mr Marty said that if it was proved that European governments knew the renditions process, involving flying terrorist suspects to secret interrogation centres, was going on, they 'would stand accused of having seriously breached their human rights obligations to the Council of Europe'.
Yesterday in his interim report the Swiss senator criticised the US secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, for refusing to confirm or deny allegations, first published in the Washington Post last month, that the CIA maintained secret prisons in Europe."

AlterNet: "The American media continues to ignore the increasingly devastating air war being waged in Iraq against an ever more belligerent Iraqi resistance - and, as usual, Iraqi civilians continue to bear the largely unreported brunt of the bombing."

WatchingAmerica: "The Brazilian Center of Solidarity for the People and Fight for Peace (Cebrapaz) will promote a series of events throughout the week to collect signatures to install two tribunals to judge Bush, who is accused of practicing crimes against humanity.
The first tribunal that Cebrapaz intends to carry out, according to Gilse, has no legal power.
The other tribunal that Cebrapaz intends to create will be established at the United Nations and could be used to impose legal sanctions on the U.S. president if it is proven that he committed crimes against humanity."
