A crap-load of talk these days about the CIA rendition report, but basically nobody’s saying shit. The main way it seems to be handled in global media is, well, negative. It seems that some want everybody to think that it’s wrong.

WikiNews, however, seems to pick it up quite opposite main stream (US) media:

The report has also been criticized for appearing to lack new content and to be incomplete. Former minister for Europe and British member of parliament Denis MacShane has said that Marty’s report “has more holes than a Swiss cheese.” US State Department spokesman Sean McCormack has rejected the report and stated that it was an example of the “same old reports wrapped up in some new rhetoric. There’s nothing new here.”

They seem to totally forget that the investigator hasn’t even checked satellite-images and flight-plan data yet…

The article continues (emphasis mine):

US Department of Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff has stated regarding the US government that “the government acts in accordance with the law and with respect to the sovereignty of host countries in which it operates,” and further stated that “The authorities are free to investigate what they want to investigate but we should not allow ourselves to be distracted from the need to identify, prevent and protect against terrorist acts of violence.“

The US can happily say such things as they are exempt from the worse case scenario, the International War Tribunal in The Hague.

So why even bother I wonder… It most probably won’t be worth all the effort because the US will always shake that damned terrorism-flag and stick to that.
