Condi, neo-con extraordinaire, torturer, apologist, per this new
Reuters article just out, is basically going to tell allies to "trust" that the US hasn't been torturing detainees in the CIA black ops eastern European prisons and that, since some governments have been cooperating with these black ops, they need to "back off" on their inquiries, according to "diplomats" and "US officials." In other words, they leaked her new "offensive."
Can you fricking believe Bushco's arrogance? They are just telling Europe to shut up and trust them, to trust that Cheney isn't torturing, the same Cheney who is fighting for his right to order torture (for Bush).
Listen to this shit:
She will remind allies they themselves have been cooperating in U.S. operations and tell them to do more to win over their publics as a way to deflect criticism directed at the United States, diplomats and U.S. officials said.
And:
Irish Foreign Minister Dermot Ahern said Rice told him in Washington she expected allies to trust that America does not allow rights abuses -- a sign she will avoid giving Europe a detailed response on U.S. intelligence work.
This is classic:
One foreign minister spilled his drink when she delivered that warning over coffee in Brussels, a senior U.S. official said.
These clueless fucks have big brass ones...
