Straight To The Point

After the internation furore regarding secret CIA prisons, suddenly everything is okay!

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the meeting was "very satisfactory for all of us".

Dutch Foreign Minister Ben Bot, one of those most concerned by the issue, also said he was "very satisfied".

Something doesn't seem right. All that debate and discussion, and now everybody's happy. Here's a couple of conspiracy theories:-

1. Maybe the US had time to close them all and then deny they ever existed.
2. Maybe certain European Governements were involved, so it is in there interests to suddenly play it down.
3. Maybe the US it putting on the pressure.

Either way, I can't believe that there is no issue here.
