Has been in the press here for years, nothing new.
Germany allowed the CIA planes to cross german airspace to Poland for torturing outside of the US, so nothing to boast or criticize about in Germany - we knew exactly what this was for.

After all the hubbub, or better the lack thereof in anglo-saxon space, i guess it will all end like the "Hornberger Schiessen"

(http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornberger_Schie%C3%9Fen)

"It is always difficult to judge political decisions, when their attainability lies far in the future. This is why i think that any political movement may never be judged by its ambitions (~goals?) it boasts about, but by the means it uses for its implementation."
Werner Heisenberg, german physician (1901 – 1976)

Yes, but this relates to British territory being used for the torture, British officials being directly involved in the torture ...and more importantly British politicians repeatedly going on record to lie about it.
Plus of course the looming prospect of British taxpayers having to pay large amounts of compensation for it.

I replaced British with Polish and got the same.
The CIA gave us 15 millions USD and we got sued for 230 thousands Euros.
Seems a good deal. Oh wait...
