Rendition's Revenge. After a series of CIA-linked aircraft stopped over in the Spanish island of Majorca, Spain has opened a criminal investigation into the CIA's handling of terrorism detainees moving over its territory. It's just the latest among several such investigations opened in Europe, the NYT reports:

... Spain is the third country in Europe to open a judicial inquiry into potential criminal offenses committed by C.I.A. operatives related to renditions. The other two are Germany and Italy, which on Friday formally requested the extradition of 22 people said to be C.I.A. operatives linked to the suspected kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric in 2003.

Last week, related investigations were started by the European Union and the Council of Europe to look into reports of secret C.I.A. jails for terrorism suspects in Eastern Europe.

An inquiry seems likely by the United Nations' special rapporteur on torture, Manfred Nowak. Last week he said that if reports of the C.I.A.'s activities proved correct, then the agency was engaged in a "systematic practice of enforced disappearance." ...

I wrote about the Italian case a couple months back.

though at least 200 of these torture flights have stopped over here, too.

If the US survives its Fascists, as Spain did hers, we should emerge a stronger, more vital and honest democratic republic. Of course, none of us will live that long....it took 50 years for Franco's influence to dissipate, no?
