Five European countries have not given information about allegations of covert CIA prison transport flights, Europe's human rights watchdog has said.
Belgium, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Italy, San Marino and Georgia were all in breach of European human rights law, according to the Council of Europe.

The head of the council had asked all 46 members to detail any involvement.

From the article:

Membership of the Council of Europe compels member states to prevent so-called "extraordinary rendition" from taking place under their jurisdiction.

Under that remit the organisation has attempted to gather information about allegations that the CIA ran a network of secret prisons around the world, and transported suspects using European airports.

Last month a Swiss senator, Dick Marty, concluded that some 100 terror suspects had been affected by the policy.

The US dismissed his report, accusing Mr Marty of relying on hearsay and press reports

I don't know about you, but I'm so tired of the _Bush administration ridiculing and savaging every one who voices concern about the irreparable harm they are doing to the world. According to them, everyone who questions them is a stark, raving lunatic, and everyone should simply ignore him/her. Scum.
