lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it would appear that, in the war on terror, all means are justified and it is evident that no rights are sacrosanct. The EU ought to have made a forthright statement at the time when news reached us of the inhuman conditions and torture in contracted-out American prisons, and there ought to have been resistance on our part when the CIA started to indulge in its illegal practices in EU Member States as well. Not only did this constitute an abuse of our own much-vaunted values, but we also stood idly by – and were even supportive – while international law was broken and human rights violated, and now the European taxpayer is supposed to fork out for the misdeeds of the world’s self-appointed policeman, the USA. This return to the Stone Age of human rights is, in my view, a real disgrace for the European Union. We must not allow ourselves to be reduced to the blindly obedient vassals of the USA, let alone to being the paymasters of its belligerent policies. I believe, then, that a forthright declaration on the part of the EU and an apology to the victims are long overdue."@en1
