Political storm grows over CIA planes (Sweden)
Swedish political leaders have expressed outrage over reports that aircraft used by the CIA touched down at several of the country's airports.

"Swedish air space should not be open to the 'Abu Ghraib commando'," Green Party deputy Gustav Fridolin said, referring to the Iraqi prison where US soldiers tortured and abused prisoners.

"Sweden should not be part of the Guantanamo system," he added.

Swedish intelligence service Säpo said on Tuesday that it had no knowledge of CIA planes landing in the country.

I don´t know which is worst; the Swedish government either actively involved in the rendition practice or our secret police having no information about foreign intelligence operations on Swedish territory? :crazy:

Guess the old blame the dead foreign minister but don´t dare say anything bad about her because she is dead isn´t working anymore.

1. Sweden has always been involved in dirty deals
nothing new. Remember the Bofors affair, the deals with the Nazis. The fear of "not being a part of the big guys" is overwhelming since Napoleon.

lived there 30 years, so I know.
