The World Is Flat

Today the Council of Europe’s body investigating alleged “extraordinary rendition” through COE territories announced that such alleged flights did occur, but without providing a lot of detail. This is something we’ve been following on and off for a few months now. The allegation being that – either through act or omission – COE nations allowed an important allied nation (i.e. the USA) to transport people through their jurisdictions for torture in non-European nations. It will be interesting to see how the Strasbourg Court proceeds with this.

In other Council of Europe news, the Parliamentary Assembly wants to get together with FIFA in preparation for this summer’s World Cup side show. I look forward to a detailed DMB sports report on this phenomenon.

You know that the World Cup is gaining at least a toehold in the American public conciousness when a follow-up to this story appears in the Journal Star:
