US Rendition & DU: a Damning European Timeline
Written by Asinus Asinum Fricat on April 4, 2008 – 3:38 pm -First, knowing what we know, let’s put a little perspective on what the UK’s and Irish government have told us so far:
UK, December 2005: Three days ago UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said that since US President George Bush took office in January 2001 the UK government had found no evidence of a request from the US “for over-flights or for re-fuelling or other facilitation for what you’ve described as rendition… nor are we aware by other means of any such case.”
Around the same time: The Irish Government has received specific assurances from the US authorities, including US President George W Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, that no prisoners have been transferred through Irish airports, nor would they be without Irish Government permission.
Well, we all take comfort in the knowledge that no less than GWB himself has reassured us! And the Depleted Uranium?
