Rice continues to dodge the issue of torture

Unfortunately Merkel wants to push this issue aside as well as Rice tours Europe. After Condi's 9/11 commission testimony I can't believe much of anything she has to say since she failed to tell the truth for such an important moment in history. As much as I want Europe to press on the issue I suspect that they won't because there was probably an understanding going on with all of the flights going on in Europe. How in the hell would they not know anything about hundreds of flights? For that reason alone Europe probably also wants this issue of CIA flights to pick up a few headlines but ultimately go away.

The prison camps within the EU may be another problem though. There is still plenty of tension between East and West within the EU, with many voters still not happy about the absorption of the East into the EU. With economic stagnation in Europe, racial tensions and politicians looking for someone to blame their troubles on, the Eastern countries could be in for a rough ride.
