On 28 November, the European Parliament’s “Temporary Committee on the alleged use of European countries by the CIA for the transportation and illegal detention of prisoners” released its interim report. The Committee concluded that most European countries were aware of the existence of CIA secret prisons or the use of European territories for the transfer of terrorist suspects. In June, the Council of Europe Special Rapporteur Dick Marty had already found several European states to be complicit in secret detentions and renditions by the CIA.
