I am interested in the war on terror and it is really fun to watch the conspiracy theories that are being developed out of it. One is the spying of the US government on the American people. I could go on and on about the possibilities and the issue of responsibility of government and US citizens, etc but I will not bore you. However, I will discuss the latest European and CIA fun.
The “Council of Europe” said that there is evidence of secret US prisons in Europe. What is interesting is that the documents contain allegations and no solid facts with evidence being largely circumstantial.
So what does the “Council of Europe” do? They say “Prove that you are innocent”. So prove that every single building in your country was used for something else besides secret prisons? These countries say they did not host prisons and seem to be open to the Council to prove otherwise.
I suspect that the “Council of Europe” likes to write for political purposes – like me writing this 🙂 – and to look busy. Also, internationally, “guilty until proven innocent” tends to be the legal policy.
I think the EU is wasting a bunch of time, money and security dealing with this in such a manner. I am not saying that this activity is not going on, just that there seem to be no solid proof, yet these countries are already “guilty”.

Fortunately, I am trying to stay away from shady activity and I live in a country gives me the right to be innocent until proven guilty. What about you?
