"Mr President, our interim committee has failed to pin anything on the CIA in terms of its involvement in torture or associated illegal activities here in Europe. Suspicions, indications or even insinuations are all we had to go on. Some Left-wing Members of this House wanted to take advantage of the activities of the interim committee to indulge in cheap anti-Americanism, of which this biased report is a manifestation. Moreover, the way in which the committee has worked to date has raised a few questions. Witnesses were sometimes accompanied by lawyers who ensured that difficult questions remained unanswered. On more than one occasion, the vagueness of those involved meant that we were unable to gain a clear picture of the facts with which they were charged, or of their political background for that matter. Other people who appeared before the committee, including High Representative Javier Solana, were so predictably noncommittal that their input was a waste of time for everyone. If the inquiry is to continue, it would be preferable if it were to be conducted by the national bodies that competent in this area."@en1
