Lithuania

[Winstonm]

Lithuania's leaders are no longer ruling out the possibility that the CIA operated a secret prison in this northern European country of 3.5 million people, and that its government will have to deal with the fallout.

 

Last month, newly elected President Dalia Grybauskaite said she had "indirect suspicions" that the CIA reports might be true, and urged Parliament to investigate more thoroughly.

 

"What sort of a newly elected President would get into office and then start demanding that actions From the Past -- rather than the Future -- be investigated, just because they might be "criminal"? This deeply irresponsible Lithuanian leader apparently doesn't care about inflaming partisan divisions, and worse, appears blind to the dangers of criminalizing policy disputes. Even more outrageously, Lithuania faces one of the steepest recessions in all of Europe; obviously, this is a time, more than ever, that Lithuanians should be Looking to the Future, Not the Past." - Glenn Greenwald

 

Lordy, Lordy, the rule of law breaking out in Lithuania, Poland, and Italy at the same time? Who do these Europeans think they are not following the lead of the U.S.?

Let's be clear, here, Europe - torture is nothing but a policy dispute. It doesn't need investigation.

There are far more important priorities than "investigating" war crimes, compelling transparency, and holding political criminals accountable.

In the future, our news agency, Tass, will alert you when it is correct to report on the past - generally this will be when two consenting elected adults have had sex.

Here, here. Let's look into whether there were crimes committed while Antanas Smetona was in power, too. Never trusted that guy and his cronies.
