EU Report on Rendition Flights
February 14th, 2007 by Stephen
The second president of the United States of America, John Adams, said:
Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak.
Today the EU accepted a report on secret CIA rendition flights. Rendition is a strange word to use. It brings to mind either a recital of music, a translation or such like, or else images of mechanical processes used in the food industry. It is also related to the word surrender, but what it seems to mean in this case is simply “transport to a location for torture”.
There is no doubt that the CIA has been torturing prisoners (usually using other regimes to actually get their hands dirty with the deed, but anyone participating in the act in any way is equally guilty). Now it seems that EU states have been conspiring with the USA over this torture.
The powers in our nations do indeed like to think they have a great soul – but they are all evil. Those in power are fallen and evil people, and their imagined great soul is mired in hypocrisy.
