NPR this a.m/something about EU calling for Rice/Rummy to Testify/Torture

[KoKo]

Friend called me said she heard a snip on NPR that EU is calling for Rice/Rummy to testify before them about US Policy of Rendition and Torture.

I checked here on DU and there's nothing...went to BBC and GOOGLE to find if there was any breaking news...and only found this from January 19th and nothing about Rice/Rummy being called to testify.

Anyone else hear this? Here's the latest I could find about any EU Investigation.

EU to investigate CIA terror flights

From Rory Watson in Brussels and Tim Reid in Washington
ALLEGATIONS that the CIA has been illegally detaining terror suspects on European soil are to be investigated by a European Parliament committee. The move comes as a report issued yesterday accused the Bush Administration of employing a deliberate strategy of torture.

The 46 members of the EU committee have been given a wide-ranging remit and will be able to call any witnesses that they believe can shed light on whether US intelligence agencies have been flouting basic human rights and EU/US extradition agreements.

The investigation could lead to serious tensions between Washington and Brussels. It is also potentially embarrassing for existing and future European Union members such as Poland, Romania and Bulgaria, which have been accused of allowing their territories to be used as a base to interrogate terrorist suspects or as a transit point to move them elsewhere

2. Thanks! I guess the news had gone to archives by the time I looked...

And reading the article I can see there's no way the Bush Bots will testify.

My friend was pretty excited...so I hoped the news would be more..
