"This report has the virtue of drawing attention to the heinous and irrefutable facts that the CIA used the territory of a number of EU countries to transport people who, without any charge or arrest warrant, were transported to Guantánamo and various countries, where they were tortured and even murdered. These facts are still being obscured by a web of silence and complicity surrounding the bilateral and multilateral agreements concluded between the Council, the Member States, the US, NATO and the CIA, concerning illegal and arbitrary detention, torture, and the mistreatment and forced disappearance of hundreds of people as part of the supposed War on Terror. While we support this report, we do not share the federalist perspective that shapes it, seeking to set up the Council as judge of the Member States and involving the Commission in ensuring ‘accountability for human rights violations committed in the context of the CIA programme’. Nor do we agree with the uncritical approach to NATO and its role as an organisation whose history demonstrates its links to terrorism, particularly state terrorism. For our part, we have been warning about this issue since 2005 and demanding explanations from the Portuguese Government in relation to it. We will carry on in that vein."@en1
