Condoleezza Rice began her tour of Europe yesterday with a rare public admission that the US had made "mistakes" in the war on terror.

There were also new and embarrassing revelations yesterday that the CIA had closed down its secret jails in eastern Europe after their existence was revealed early last month by the Washington Post. According to ABC, citing CIA officials, the prisons believed to be in Poland and Romania were shut last month.
The 11 al-Qaida suspects held there were flown to north Africa before Ms Rice's trip, the network said.

it seems scrutiny of the CIA's activities in Europe is unlikely to dwindle. There were yesterday fresh claims in Italy that the CIA had deliberately deceived the authorities there over the whereabouts of a radical Islamic cleric whom the agency had in fact kidnapped.
