Europe’s opponents of the war on terror have a new half-inch thick document to add to their armory. On Wednesday, Swiss politician Dick Marty put together a well-publicized report for the Council of Europe condemning America for a policy of rendition. The United States is charged with globally establishing a “spider’s web” relationship with national intelligence networks for the purpose of apprehending terrorist suspects and taking them into secret custody.
“Europe,” he explains, “already has a long and painful history of terrorism” and has been wise and experienced enough to have fought back “primarily by means of existing institutions and legal systems.” America, by contrast, “appears to have made a fundamentally different choice” to operate outside the law.
The report leaves little doubt about the degree to which it believes America should scale back its current operations in the war on terror. It even condemns security services for keeping lists of those suspected of terrorist connections as breaching fundamental principles of justice.

Yeah, well their report is full of holes.
"“Europe,” he explains, “already has a long and painful history of terrorism”"
Maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't have such a long and painful history of terrorism if they would just go kick some terrorist ass...it's the ONLY way to get rid of them.
Dick? Weeny? Swiss? European?
I see the connection.
Europe has a long history of fanatical fantasy ideologies, mass killings, involvement of civilians as targets in warfare, irreligion,and genocide.
Europe should STFU.
Was the report written in German, Russian, or Arabic?
