Breaking laws western-style
Apparently 14 European countries have been secretly colluding with the CIA to allow it to torture suspects in secret prisons ("black sites") in Poland and Romania, according to an investigation by Swiss senator Dick Marty after a seven-month inquiry.
Should we be surprised?
Aren't laws meant to be flouted? Chains of steel for the poor and mere spider webs for the rich, as someone said. In this case, one set of laws for western countries (the more "pious" ones), and another for the Islamic ones.
